Fracture in drug‐eluting stents increases focal intimal hyperplasia in the atherosclerosed rabbit iliac artery

Objectives: Drug-eluting stent (DES) strut fracture (SF) is associated with higher incidence of In-stent restenosis (ISR)—return of blockage in a diseased artery post stenting—than seen with bare metal stents (BMS). We hypothesize that concomitance of drug and SF leads to greater neointimal response...
