Clinical outcomes by optical characteristics of neointima and treatment modality in patients with coronary in-stent restenosis.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with ISR treated with DCB or DES, there were no significant differences in terms of MACE or TLR between low and high inhomogeneity groups. A significant interaction was observed between treatment modality and neointimal pattern with an advantage of DES over DCB in the high and no difference in the low inhomogeneity group. This warrants confirmation from prospective dedicated studies. PMID: 32894230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
