In-stent thrombosis due to neoatherosclerosis: insight from optical coherence tomography

Abstract

Neoatherosclerosis is one of the multiple mechanisms that cause stent thrombosis, which is one of the rare but severe complications of drug-eluting stent implantation. This case study highlights the use of optical coherence tomography in identifying the precise mechanism of the stent thrombosis, which helped guide the appropriate intervention.
