Abstract
These results indicate that irrespective of LDL-C level, changes in out-stent plaque volume correlate with those in in-stent intimal hyperplasia. We suggest that silorimus-eluting stent can suppress in-stent intimal hyperplasia partially by affecting out-stent plaque, although further large-scale studies are required to define the role of out-stent plaque in the occurrence of in-stent intimal hyperplasia.
