Background Incomplete stent apposition (ISA) is defined as a separation of at least one stent strut from the vessel wall, not related with a side branch. The relevance of this phenomenon derives from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies suggesting a potential relationship between ISA and stent thrombosis. The mechanism by which ISA can contribute to stent thrombosis remains unknown, but it has… View more

The capabilities of OCT provide cardiologists with an effective tool for the assessment of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and permit new insights into plaque progression and ruptures. ACS is typically a life-threatening presentation of atherosclerosis. The in-depth lesion evaluation of OCT is invaluable and has enabled the pathophysiology of ACS to be fully unveiled.2 Acute… View more

Many experts would agree that the concept of looking at vessel architecture from the inside using intracoronary probes, instead of simply relying on the angiographic vessel cast, is an elegant way to practise interventional cardiology in order to decide whether to treat a coronary artery and to guide coronary intervention. The historical development of stents neatly exemplifies this notion: the… View more
