Impact of peri-stent remodeling on in-stent neointimal proliferation in acute myocardial infarction.
Fifty stented lesions in 50 patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) before and just after stent implantation and at follow-up. Volumetric IVUS analyses revealed that greater peristent positive remodeling after stent implantation was associated with less neointimal proliferation and greater luminal gain at follow-up.
