Popis: OBJECTIVES: We used optical coherence tomography, which has a resolution of 10% of struts being uncovered. High-resolution imaging allowed development of the concept of the protrusion index, and >25% of struts protruded into the vessel lumen with the polymer-coated rapamycin-eluting stent compared with
