title: Late incomplete apposition with excessive remodeling of the stented coronary artery following intravascular brachytherapy.
abstract: Intravascular brachytherapy may cause "exaggerated" vessel remodeling with late incomplete apposition in segments that have little disease, which are exposed to higher radiation doses. The long-term clinical impact of this finding is unclear.
