A serial three- and nine-year optical coherence tomography evaluation of neoatherosclerosis progression after sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting stents implantation.

CONCLUSIONS: At 9-year after implantation of early-generation DES no significant neoatherosclesis progression was observed among patients with uneventful follow-up at 3 years after PCI, as assessed by OCT. These observations need to be confirmed in larger studies, including also the current generation of DES. PMID: 29750431 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
