Mechanisms of stent thrombosis analysed by optical coherence tomography: insights from the national PESTO French registry

na1
Aims: angiography has limited value for identifying the causes of stent thrombosis (ST). We studied a large cohort of patients by optical coherence tomography (OCT) to explore ST characteristics and mechanisms.
