Restenosis due to underexpansion of sirolimus-eluting stent in a bifurcation lesion

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2003 Dec;60(4):496-9. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10655.

Abstract

Even in the drug-eluting stent era, percutaneous coronary intervention in bifurcation lesions is complex and technically demanding, and considerable expertise is required. This case report describes in-stent restenosis due to stent underexpansion after kissing stents using sirolimus-eluting stents.
