DiscussionBased on recent pathological study, rupture of a TCFA-like lesion within the neointima has been reported in the long term after stent implantation and has been proposed to be responsible for very late stent thrombosis (1). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of ex-vivo interrogation of in-stent TCFA containing neointima after drug-eluting stent implantation with OCT and CAS by autopsy specimen. On OCT images, the lipid-rich necrotic core appears as a low-signal-intensity mass because of the strong optical absorption and scattering of lipids at light wavelengths around 1,000 nm (2). Therefore, stent struts cannot be visualized by OCT if there is a lipid-rich necrotic core within the neointima. On the other hand, stent struts behind organized fibrin thrombus can be visualized because OCT signals are not attenuated by this material (3). Therefore, it is important to identify the in-stent TCFA-like neointima whether stent struts behind a low-signal-intensity area are “visible” or “invisible.”
