❖Coronary stenting: mechanical relief of obstructed arteries by restoring flow without addressing the complex underlying atherosclerotic disease process.
❖Rates of ISR and ST are substantially higher among patients with
• complex lesions: acute coronary syndromes, bifurcations, chronic total occlusions, longer lesions
• coexisting conditions known to accelerate atherosclerosis: diabetes, renal failure
suggesting that atherosclerosis progression and complications might play a pivotal role in stent failure

What hampers the elucidation of stent failure mechanisms?
Findings from preclinical models: experimental atherosclerosis in animals may bear limited relation to the complex human atherosclerotic lesion that develops over decades.
Andreou I, et al. Hellenic J Cardiol. 2019
Histopathological examination of vessels from deceased patients: inherent limitation of a retrospective analysis in a highly-selected population (those who died) at a single timepoint (end of life) and technical challenges of examining stented coronary arteries.
Intravascular imaging: signal interference from metal stent strutsinadequate histological validation of findings, among other factors
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT):
high-definition visualization and improved characterization of in-stent tissue
limited depth resolution and signal attenuation due to superficial thrombus or lipid-laden neointima
- Relative infrequency of stent thrombotic events- Lack of serial imaging

The concept of atherosclerosis development inside an implanted stent as a primary substrate of stent failure has only gained prominence during the last decade.
In-stent atherosclerosis may demonstrate features associated with plaque instability (as those seen in de-novo coronary lesions), such as large lipid core, thin fibrous cap, and neovascularization.
Neoatherosclerosis is defined as the presence of neointimal lipid, calcification or both with or without necrotic core, without communication with the underlying plaque
In-stent atherosclerosis
In-stent atherosclerosis may reflect • the development of de novo atherosclerosis within the neointima, termed neoatherosclerosis (i.e., infiltration of
lipoproteins and leukocytes into the neointima mainly due to endothelial dysfunction) or the progression of pre-existing underlying native atherosclerosis, termed paleoatherosclerosis.
As paleoatherosclerosis is also considered any atherosclerotic process occurring behind the stent struts.
These processes may be enhanced by the effects of stent metal/polymer-induced inflammation.

• This continuum suggests a unified mass effect and communication within the lesion where cells and tissue elements shift between the stent struts
• Luminal dimensions after coronary stenting are determined by the combined effects of PBS, neointimal hyperplasia, and remodeling forces.
(i) Plaque behind the stent (PBS) significantly decreases after BMS implantation, whereas it increases after DES implantation irrespective of underlying lesion type and location;
(ii) The changes in PBS are associated with parallel constrictive peri-stent remodeling in BMS and expansive remodeling in DES
(iii) The decrease in PBS area is significantly associated with the extent of neointimal area at follow-up after BMS and DES implantation.

It should be noted that new atherosclerotic changes occurred in healed neointimal tissue inside an implanted stent at long-term follow-up.

Distinction between neo- and paleo-atherosclerosis may have potential important
• prognostic implications (e.g., the predisposition to adverse events may be heightened in cases of paleoatherosclerosis progression)
• therapeutic implications (e.g., pertaining to stent design or antithrombotic/antiatheroscleroticmanagement)

❖ OCT study: direct communication of the calcific neointimal tissue with the underlying atherosclerotic plaque in 60% of the in-stent calcific atherosclerotic lesions
Stettler R, et al. EuroIntervention 2018;13:e1831-40
❖ OCT study: significant post-stenting tissue protrusion is an independent predictor of target lesion revascularization. - In 96% of the cases immediately post-stenting, the stent struts appeared embedded within the disrupted atherosclerotic plaque leaving the stented segment with protruding thrombotic and plaque particles. - An example case of this study demonstrated that the location of intrastent tissue protrusion at post intervention well matched that of neointima at follow-up Soeda T et al.

• A cause-and-effect relationship has never been established to date
• Favorable thrombogenic profile of contemporary stents: uncovered struts and stent malapposition are relatively common imaging findings without subsequent adverse events
• Paleoatherosclerotic plaque remains exposed to systemic risk factors + locally disturbed blood flow
• Uncovered struts could be a marker of delayed endothelial regeneration → superficial erosion
• Positive remodeling: further mechanical stress on the plaque → neointimal cap disruption
• Uncovered or malapposed struts may have previously been covered by neointima: pure epiphenomena at the time of thrombotic events due to neointimal rupture and subsequent exposure of the underlying stent struts.
Uncovered and malapposed stent struts might actually constitute: innocent bystanders, contributory factors, or a consequence of paleoatherosclerotic plaque complications rather than causative factors per se of ST
Findings associated with strut protrusion in the lumen(malapposed or uncovered struts, stent underexpansion, and evaginations):
2/3 of very late ST cases and the vast majority of early and late ST cases

Leukocyte accumulation in stent thrombus specimens
• Τhe composition of thrombus aspirates retrieved from patients with early versus late ST as well as in BMS versus DES, is broadly similar, suggesting common pathophysiological mechanisms and questioning the currently proposed multifactorial etiology of ST.
Riegger J, et al. Eur Heart J 2016;37:1538-49
• Leucocytes (neutrophils and eosinophils) and neutrophil extracellular traps constitute basic components of thrombus aspirates, as is the case in native vessel atherothrombosis

• Accumulating histopathological and intravascular imaging studies during the last decade have unequivocally demonstrated the pivotal role of atherosclerosis progression and complications in stent failure.
• ISR and ST might be viewed as the consequence of a range of recurrent atherosclerosis complications occurring inside or behind the stent—with the exception of early restenosis resulting from excessive neointimal growth or mechanical/technical complications.
• Other stent type-related, procedural, and patient-related factors may play a modulatory or contributory role in atherosclerotic complications; however, they may not be essential to stent failure.
• Framework of thought - Numerous new lines of inquiry, which may either validate or refute this prediction
• Future prospective studies and further refinement of intravascular imaging technology to explore this concept and assess whether therapeutic strategies that target atherosclerosis locally (e.g., local delivery of pharmaceutical agents, miRNA-based strategies, closed-cell or mesh-covered stents with elution of potent antiatherosclerotic agents) or systemically (e.g., statins, immunosuppressive/anti-inflammatory compounds) could mitigate the risk of stent failure.
