Stent failure and intravascular imaging: shedding the light to improve outcomes

Anchorperson: N. Amabile

Summary

Understand how to use intravascular imaging to analyse the reasons for stent failure (restenosis and/or thrombosis) by viewing these 2 cases shared by your peers: 1 focusing on OCT & the other on IVUS.

Learning Objectives

To understand how to use intravascular imaging to analyse the reasons for stent failure (restenosis and/or thrombosis)
To recognise the most common mechanical abnormalities associated with stent thrombosis
To recognise the most common patterns and reasons for in-stent restenosis (neointimal hyperplasia, neoatherosclerosis)
To learn how to use IV imaging to decide your treatment strategy
