Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report a case of late stent malapposition occurring 6 months after intracoronary beta-irradiation detected by three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound, in spite of good apposition immediately after the procedure. Volumetric quantification revealed that stent volume remained unchanged, whereas total vessel volume increased by 13% after 6 months within the stent area. The increase of the vessel volume took place mainly in the proximal part of the stent, where the malapposition was located.
