Background: Tissue coverage and strut apposition of drug eluting stents (DES), which can be assessed with 21 optical coherence tomography (OCT), may be associated with late stent thrombosis (LST). 22 Methods: Prospective observational angiographic and OCT follow-up at 6 months post-implantation of...
