ABSTRACT
Neointimal hyperplasia is the main mechanism of stent restenosis. Therefore, drug-eluting stents have replaced bare metal stents because there is less neointima and scar formation. Recently, some cases of stent restenosis after using a bare metal stent were found to involve calcification, not neointimal hyperplasia, and regarded as de novo atherosclerosis. We report unusual circular calcification inside a drug-eluting stent, which we called neointimal calcification.
