Cardiovasc Revasc Med. 2011 Sep-Oct;12(5):341-2. doi: 10.1016/j.carrev.2010.12.006. Epub 2011 Mar 1.

Abstract

We encountered a case of late regression after sirolimus-eluting stent restenosis. We report this case with intravascular ultrasound imaging demonstrating an intraluminal echolucent tissue, which looks like a black hole.
