Although in-stent restenosis (ISR) occurs after drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation, neointimal tissue characteristics have not been fully investigated. We assessed neointimal tissue components using integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) after DES and bare-metal stents (BMS) implantation. Fifty-seven consecutive patients with 61 lesions underwent repeated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of ISR (DES: 24 lesions, BMS: 37 lesions). PCI was performed using plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA). Before PCI, we assessed neointimal tissue characteristics using IB-IVUS. Neointima was divided into four categories: category 1 (-11 to -29 dB), category 2 (-29 to -35 dB), category 3 (-35 to -49 dB), and category 4 (-49 to -130 dB) according to IB values. We compared neointimal tissue components between DES and BMS. Thirty-three patients with 33 lesions (DES: 17, BMS: 16) were finally included. Neointima was predominantly composed of category 3 tissue in both groups (DES: 68 ± 8%, BMS: 73 ± 5%, P = 0.053). DES had a broader distribution of category 4 tissue component than BMS. After POBA, distal slow flow phenomenon occurred in 5 of DES (29%), whereas none of BMS. In DES, the optimal threshold of category 4 tissue to predict distal slow flow phenomenon after POBA was 30% (sensitivity: 100%, specificity: 92%). Neointima was mainly composed of category 3 tissue at ISR site, irrespective of DES or BMS. In DES, there was a subgroup with category 4 rich tissue, which caused distal slow flow phenomenon after POBA. IB-IVUS might be useful to identify vulnerable neointima in DES restenosis.
