This study evaluates the completeness of strut coverage and vessel wall response, at different time points (3-6-12 Months), following CordimaxTM stent implantation in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome
Major concerns were addressed to the delayed healing process of drug-eluting stents . To date no studies have detailed the in-vivo completeness of CordimaxTM stent coverage at different time points. The objective of this prospective study is to measure the completeness of strut coverage and vessel wall response (neointima disomogeneity, acquired late incomplete strut apposition) at different time points following CordimaxTM stent implantation, in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome . Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) that detects smaller degrees of stent strut coverage more accurately than IVUS will be used at different time points (3-6-12 Months)
