Vollbildansicht	LAD Abbildung 1a-b: Angiographic images of the LAD. (a): Arrow marks a non-significant stenosis of the Cypher stent which is suspicious for adherent thombi; (b): Arrow marks a spotted haziness; the very distal occlusion of the LAD. Keywords: angiographic image, Angiographie, LAD


Vollbildansicht	OCT Abbildung 2a-d: Representative OCT images. (a, b): Malapposed stent struts with thrombi; (c): uncovered stents struts; (d): covered stent struts; (e): graphical representation of stent coverage, areas with one or more uncovered struts are represented by red lines. Keywords: OCT-Bild, Stent, stent strut


Vollbildansicht	LAD Abbildung 3a-b: Angiographic images of the LAD. (a, b): The arrow points to the significant restenosis in the distal part of the paclitaxel eluting stent. Keywords: angiographic image, Angiographie, LAD


Vollbildansicht	OCT Abbildung 4a-d: Representative OCT images of the ruptured neoatherosclerotic plaque. (a, b): Several, small adherent thrombi; (c, d): Intramural hematoma and/or a lipid necrotic core and protruding intima-flap. Keywords: OCT-Bild, Plaque
