Short- and mid-term influence of drug-coated stent implantation on structural and functional vascular healing response: An optical coherence tomography and acetylcholine testing study

摘要

Objective This study investigated the effect of a drug-coated stent (DCS) that has a novel microporous abluminal surface without a polymer on 1-month and 1-year functional and morphological healing response as assessed using acetylcholine (Ach) testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
