| Abstract | Over the past decades, investigation into vessel response after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has played integral role not only in understanding the treatment mechanisms but in developing effective clues for patients suffering from coronary artery disease. With recent introduction of drug eluting stent (DES) technology, a major breakthrough in the reduction of restenosis was achieved by inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia.1,2 However, late acquired vessel remodeling and edge effect after DES implantation has emerged as potential causes of stent thrombosis and restenosis.3,4 As investigated in this issue of Revista Española de Cardiología by GarcíaGarcía et al,5 the interpretation of vessel response of current DES technology is imperative for effective countermeasure development against such catastrophic phenomena. At the same time, it is also essential to understand accumulated knowledge and established evaluation methodology of vessel response based on our previous experience with detailed intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis. |
