Ioxaglate Versus IoDixanol for the Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy: The IDPC Trial

In this study, the authors assessed the vessel-healing pattern of the sirolimus-eluting Inspiron DES using serial optical coherence tomography, assuming that this thin-strut, biodegradable-polymer DES promotes a faster healing.

In this study, the authors...
