Abstract An increasing number of studies have reported intimal atherosclerotic changes, or neoatherosclerosis in the late phase after bare metal stent implantation, however, only a few reports have showed the…
Abstract The advent of drug-eluting stents (DES) associated with improvements in interventional techniques, encouraged the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main (ULM) stenosis because of the…
