Figure 2 Example of In-Stent Restenosis

Conventional coronary angiography (A) showed in-stent restenosis in a stent (Taxus, 2.5 x 20 mm) placed in the second marginal branch of the left circumflex coronary artery (arrowhead). (B) A curved multiplanar reconstruction obtained with 64-slice MSCT (Siemens Sensation, kernel B46f) is provided. In the proximal part of the stent (arrowhead), a hypodense area can be observed, indicating the presence of in-stent restenosis. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
