An Impressive Case of "Honeycomb" In-Stent Restenosis

J Invasive Cardiol. 2018 Sep;30(9):E99.

Abstract

Our image shows an impressive "honeycomb" pattern of neoatherosclerosis in the context of very late in-stent restenosis. In this case, OCT excluded the most common mechanisms of late in-stent restenosis, underlying the complexity of this unpredictable disease.

Keywords: in-stent restenosis; neoatherosclerosis; optical coherence tomography.
