A rare optical coherence tomography finding of a striped, low-attenuation plaque protruding into the lumen in in-stent restenosis

This case illustrates an atypical OCT morphology observed in recurrent ISR after DCB angioplasty. Recognition of such atypical ISR morphologies may enhance understanding of neointimal healing after DCB treatment and guide interventional strategies.

Abstract

This case illustrates an atypical OCT morphology observed in recurrent ISR after DCB angioplasty. Recognition of such atypical ISR morphologies may enhance understanding of neointimal healing after DCB treatment and guide interventional strategies.
