Abstract:
Objectives:To evaluate the morphology of in-stent restenosis after different kinds of stents.
Methods: 121 Patients with 159 restenosis lesions after intracoronary interventional therapy were included in this study.Restenosis morphology of different kinds of stents were analysed.
Results: The focal restenosis in drug eluting stent(DES) and bare metal stent(BMS) was 39.80% and 70.49% respectively(P=0.000);Diffuse restenosis was 60.20% and 29.51%(P<0.001).The morphology of the different kinds of DES(Cypher,Taxus and Firebird) was similar(focal restenosis was 83.33%,55.56% and 75.00%,P=0.070;diffuse restenosis was 16.67%,44.44% and 25.00%,P=0.070).
Conclusion: DES changed the morphology of in-stent restenosis,from diffuse restenosis to focal restenosis;Different DES has the similar morphology of restenosis.
