A large percentage of struts were found to be covered with thin layer of NIH evenly distributed along the stent length at around 1 month from stent implantation. The results of this pilot study serve as ethical and scientific backbone to conduct an adequately powered clinical trial to evaluate outcomes of short dual-antiplatelet therapy in context of ultrathin strut stent.
