Intravascular fibrin molecular imaging improves the detection of unhealed stents assessed by optical coherence tomography in vivo

Aims: Fibrin deposition and absent endothelium characterize unhealed stents that are at heightened risk of stent thrombosis. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is increasingly used for assessing stent tissue coverage as a measure of healed stents, but cannot precisely identify whether overlying tiss...
