Abstract
The use of drug-eluting stents (DES) reduces the risk of repeat revascularization without increase of death and myocardial infarction compared to standard bare metal stents. However, in-stent restenosis (ISR) after DES implantation still occurs. Here, we report a rare case with a diffuse ISR after CYPHER® stent implantation because of chronic inflammation and hypersensitivity reactions, confirmed by pathohistological findings.Entities:
