Article Synopsis
- Dialysis patients have a significantly higher prevalence of in-stent calcified nodules in their ISR lesions compared to non-dialysis patients, indicating a distinct histological difference.
- The study analyzed 29 ISR lesions, revealing that 75% of dialysis patients exhibited these calcified nodules versus only 5% in non-dialysis patients.
- Conversely, non-dialysis patients showed a higher occurrence of lipid-rich plaques, suggesting different underlying mechanisms contributing to in-stent restenosis between the two groups.
