Clinical profile and optical coherence tomography based morphological characteristics of coronary in-stent restenosis: A cross-sectional study.
Observational study in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn-stent restenosis (ISR), a complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), involves neointimal hyperplasia and neoatherosclerosis. With the rise of drug-eluting stents (DES), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has become essential for evaluating ISR morphology and guiding treatment decisions.
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the morphological patterns and clinical features of ISR in an Indian cohort using OCT, identify common morphological characteristics, and explore their relationship with ISR duration.
methodsA cross-sectional observational study at a tertiary care center in New Delhi included 50 patients with angiographically confirmed ISR. OCT was used to assess qualitative and quantitative parameters of restenotic lesions, including neointimal patterns, minimal lumen area (MLA), minimal stent area (MSA), lipid content, and calcium burden. The correlation between ISR duration (early vs. late) and OCT features was also analyzed.
resultsThe mean age was 58.08 ± 9.68 years, with 74 % male participants. Most patients (80 %) had late ISR. Hypertension (66 %) and diabetes (44 %) were the most common comorbidities, and chronic stable angina was the most frequent presentation (60 %). OCT findings showed heterogeneous neointima in 64 %, stent under-expansion in 42 %, and calcification in 82 %. Late ISR had a significantly larger neointimal area, though no other features correlated significantly with ISR duration.
conclusionsNeoatherosclerosis, especially heterogeneous neointima, is the primary morphological cause of ISR in this cohort. Stent under-expansion is a key contributor. OCT is valuable for diagnosing and planning ISR interventions. Larger studies are needed for broader conclusions and standardized management.
