TCT-735 Clinical Utility of Combined Optical Coherence Tomography and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Assessing the Mechanism of Very Late Stent Thrombosis

Very late stent thrombosis (VLST) is a quite rare but serious complication that often results myocardial infarction or cardiac death. In various causes of VLST, neoatherosclerosis with neointimal rupture has been shown to be one of major contributors to VLST. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is
