Research Article: Comparative Clinical Implications of Calcified versus Non-Calcified Tissue Protrusion After Coronary Stent Implantation
Introduction:
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) represents a significant advancement in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques for managing coronary artery disease. However, postoperative complications such as stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis (ISR) continue to present substantial clinical challenges. A prevalent issue in post-PCI scenarios is tissue protrusion (TP), which involves the extrusion of coronary lesion constituents (plaque and/or thrombus) through the struts of the stent, detectable…
