Figure 7.
Intravascular ultrasonic (IVUS) and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images obtained at 7 months after implantation of a drug-eluting stent (Cypher; 3.0 × 18 mm). While no obvious intimal growth is observed on the IVUS image (A), the OCT image (B) shows that the stent strut is covered by a very thin neointima (-100 µm).
