Research Article: Interpreting clinical outcomes using different strut thickness in coronary artery disease: insights from vascular imaging analysis

Date Published: 2025-03-04

Abstract:
Background: Coronary artery disease is a global health concern that necessitates treatments, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). Recent advancements in biodegradable polymer-coated DES have improved long-term outcomes by reducing neointimal hyperplasia. Superior long-term outcomes in patients with ultrathin-strut sirolimus-eluting Orsiro stent (BP-SES) compared with those with thick-strut biolimus-eluting BioMatrix stent (BP-BES) have been shown. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying these differences by using quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
