Abstract

The morphologic changes in atherosclerotic coronary artery after placement of flexible coil(Gianturco-Roubin) coronary stent are described. The stented region was reendothelialized and there was proliferation of fibromyxoid tissue at intimal layer. There was no significant inflammatory reaction to stent wires.
