Authors' conclusion

In PROSPECT II (Providing Regional Observations to Study Predictors of Events in the Coronary Tree), CL stent implantation leaving behind greater stent edge-related lipid and uncovered plaque burden was associated with an increased risk of stent edge-related CL-MACE during follow-up. In contrast, CL lipid content was not related to in-stent CL-MACE.
