“…A number of studies have proposed different IVUS cutoffs (i.e., minimal stent cross-sectional area or diameter), which in turn have predicted repeat revascularizations after drug-eluting stent DES and bare-metal stent deployment [4, 15, 16]. Furthermore, the use of IVUS enables recognition of causes of early stent thrombosis such as the presence of stent fracture, underexpansion or inflow/outflow problems [1719]. Notably, despite the advantages of the use of IVUS, its routine use varies considerably between centers.…”

“…SF can present as recurrent angina, MI,[4950] and even sudden death. [51] So, it is possible that some cases of sudden cardiac death in patients with previous stent implantation might be secondary to SF, leading to stent thrombosis.…”

“…24,37 Clinical investigations have demonstrated that fracture rates rise with stent and lesion length, 23,24,37,42,43 multiple, overlapping stents, 10,17,20,23,37,43 sirolimus release, 39 calcified complex lesions, 20,30 relative vessel angulation and “hinge” motion, 24,42 higher balloon inflation pressures, 35,45 and right coronary artery (RCA) implantation, 1,39 in particular in the ostium. 42 When fracture occurs it is associated with higher rates of in-stent restenosis, 10,24,39,44,51 thrombosis, 7,37,40 and target vessel revascularization 10,24,39,42,51 —outcomes which may be exacerbated by more severe, transectional fractures. 37 …”
