Association of stent ‐induced changes in coronary geometry with late stent failure: Insights from three‐dimensional quantitative coronary angiographic analysis

ConclusionsOur study suggests that a change in the natural tortuous course of the coronaries by stent implantation with the decrease in coronary bending angle is a potentially major contributor in stent failure.
