Abstract

MACIAS, Enrico; TELLEZ, Alejandro; OCHOA, Jorge  and  ORTIZ, José E.. Value of the optical coherence tomography in the treatment guided of the stent failure: Case report. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2014, vol.84, n.4, pp.305-309. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2014.06.001.

Since the advent of bare metal and drug-eluting stents, the surgical revascularization have declined considerably, however the thrombosis and in-stent restenosis are important complications of these devices. There are several factors that predispose to thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Conventional angiography has serious limitations to determine the causes of stent failure. Optical coherence tomography is a very sensitive technique to determine the cause of thrombosis and in-stent restenosis.

Keywords : Stent thrombosis; In-stent restenosis; Optical coherence tomography; Mexico.
