Aims: The aim of this study was to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to predict newly implanted stent expansion for treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR).
Methods And Results: With OCT guidance, 143 ISR lesions were treated with a new stent. Stent underexpansion was defined as minimum stent area (MSA) <4.5 mm2 and MSA/average of reference lumen area <70%. New stent underexpansion was found in 33 lesions (23%). These had a smaller old stent MSA (4.13 [3.32-4.62] versus 5.18 [4.01-6.38] mm2, p=0.001), and had a higher prevalence of multiple old stent layers (51.5% versus 10.9%, p<0.001) and neointimal or peri-stent calcium (69.7% versus 37.3%, p=0.001) compared to those without new stent underexpansion. Old stent underexpansion, multiple layers of old stent, maximum calcium angle >180°, and maximum calcium thickness >0.5 mm were independently associated with new stent underexpansion. Patients with new stent underexpansion had a higher prevalence of major adverse cardiac events (35.5% vs 14.3%, p=0.009), mainly driven by a higher rate of myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularisation at two years.
Conclusions: When re-stenting an ISR lesion, old stent underexpansion, the amount of neointimal or peri-stent calcium, and multiple old stent strut layers are important determinants of new stent underexpansion which is then associated with adverse long-term outcomes.

Background And Aims: Members of the CCN matricellular protein family are crucial in various biological processes. This study aimed to characterize vascular cell-specific effects of CCN5 on neointimal formation and its role in preventing in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Stent-implanted porcine coronary artery RNA-seq and mouse injury-induced femoral artery neointima single-cell RNA sequencing were performed.

Background: One of the most serious complications of coronary artery stenting is restenosis and in-stent thrombosis; their prevalence can reach 20-25%. Stent thrombosis can be acute (up to 24 hours), subacute (24 hours to 30 days), late (30 days to 1 year), and very late (> 1 year after previous stenting). In the patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units, the proportion of those with elevated troponin levels reached 25%.

Background: Extensive research has established obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a contributing factor to numerous cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, whether OSA affects in-stent restenosis (ISR) after elective drug-eluting stenting is unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the impact of OSA on ISR in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who underwent successful elective drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.

Background: Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) impedes venous blood return from the lower extremities due to iliac vein compression, manifesting as leg swelling, varicose veins, and thrombosis. These symptoms significantly degrade quality of life. Although iliac vein stenting provides symptomatic relief, the recovery process is protracted and fraught with challenges such as in-stent restenosis and psychological distress.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of excimer laser ablation (ELA) combined with drug-coated balloon(DCB)in the treatment of Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients with de novo and in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions in the femoropopliteal artery.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center analysis was performed on data collected between January 2017 and December 2021. The study included CLTI patients who underwent treatment with ELA combined with DCB for de novo and ISR lesions in the femoropopliteal artery.
