TY - JOUR T1 - Acute recoil in sirolimus eluting stent: real time, in vivo assessment with optical coherence tomography JF - Heart JO - Heart SP - 123 LP - 123 DO - 10.1136/hrt.2005.065151 VL - 92 IS - 1 AU - E Regar AU - J Schaar AU - P W Serruys Y1 - 2006/01/01 UR - http://heart.bmj.com/content/92/1/123.abstract N2 - In coronary arteries, final stent area is an important predictor for subsequent clinical events and restenosis. Acute stent recoil has been identified as a contributor for inadequate stent expansion. However, assessment of acute recoil is complex. We describe a method for real time imaging of acute recoil with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a … ER -
