Abstract

A 69-year-old female patient previously treated for a non- ST-elevation myocardial infarction with implantation of a drug-eluting resorbable magnesium stent (RMS) in the right coronary artery (RCA) was readmitted after 8 months because of unstable angina. The coronary angiograms showed a severe focal restenosis of the RMS previously implanted in the RCA. Coronary intravascular ultrasound did not show any significant intraluminal proliferation but demonstrated an impressive late stent recoil.
Keywords: stent recoil; resorbable drug-eluting stent; IVUS stent recoil; resorbable drug-eluting stent; IVUS
