| Abstract: | The presence of erosion/malapposition of a Sirolimus eluting stent was clearly visualized using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging. The presence of erosion/malapposition and the absence of neointimal hyperplasia after 10 months of sirolimus eluting stent could constitute a potential thrombogenic substrate for late stent thrombosis. |
