MedPageToday -- Atherosclerosis in the neointima may represent a new risk factor for late stent thrombosis, an autopsy study showed. In more than 400 stented lesions, neoatherosclerosis was more commonly found with drug-eluting stents than with bare-metal stents (31% versus 16%, P<0.001), according to Renu Virmani, MD, of CVPath Institute, in Gaithersburg, Md., and colleagues.
