Abstract:
Six-month PCI follow-up results of left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex (CX) drug-eluting stent implantation are presented. Angiography showed patent LAD and CX stents. However, OCT revealed almost all abluminal cavities were completely filled, which the authors surmise was due to a neointimal healing process.
