OCT analysis after paclitaxel-coated balloon treatment of de-novo coronary artery lesions revealed that the mechanism of LLE was associated with vessel enlargement, healing of dissection flaps, and regression of plaque or dissection flap. Preprocedure thick-cap fibroatheroma plaques and postprocedure deep dissection reaching the tunica media on OCT were predictors of LLE.
