The aim of this study was to evaluate neointimal coverage in the very early phase after second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Patients who underwent staged percutaneous coronary intervention within 30 days after DES implantation were enrolled. OCT was performed to observe DES previously implanted. The median time interval from implantation to OCT examination was 21.5 days. A total of 10,625 struts of 54 stents (52 everolimus-eluting stents and 2 zotarolimus-eluting stents) in 42 lesions were analyzed. Strut tissue coverage was observed in 71.1 ± 19.2 % of the struts, malapposed struts in 2.56 ± 3.37 %, strut tissue coverage at the side branch orifice in 10.6 ± 17.2 %, and struts with protrusion in 0.95 ± 3.46 %. Mean tissue thickness on the covered struts was 39.8 ± 14.2 µm. The percentage of stent coverage was significantly lower in the overlapping segments than in the non-overlapping segments (48.4 ± 17.5 % vs. 74.4 ± 20.2 %, P < 0.05). Most of the stent struts were covered by tissue within 30 days after second-generation DES implantation. However, the percentage of strut coverage was lower in the overlapping segments than in the non-overlapping segments, suggesting that very early interruption of dual antiplatelet therapy might result in increased risk of stent thrombosis, even in second-generation DES.
