Optical coherence tomography findings after longitudinal ablation for an underexpanded stent in a heavily calcified lesion: a case report

BACKGROUND: Heavy coronary artery calcification is responsible for stent underexpansion, which is associated with increased in-stent restenosis. Here we report a case in which optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated that the metal component of an underexpanded stent previously implanted in a...
