32 OCT-ISR Limitations OCT to Detect Neoatherosclerosis (The pathologist s perspective) 1.- OCT cannot discern the newly formed atherosclerosis within stent from the metal strut penetration into the preexisting necrotic core. DES strut penetration into necrotic core leads to delayed arterial healing or subtle neointimal coverage, which might be recognized as a new lesion of TCFA with or without intimal disruption by OCT. 2.- Fibrin accumulation is frequently observed around the struts of paclitaxeleluting stents. Massive fibrin accumulation is seen on OCT as a dark area without a clear border, which resembles necrotic core. 3.- Limitations of OCT to identify foamy macrophages on the luminal surface of neointima, with a typical appearance of a thin bright line with trailing shadows. This feature mimics the so-called OCT-derived TCFA and prevents assessment of deeper tissues. 4.- Accumulated macrophages are fragile, easily cracked (wire or catheter), and will end up with discontinuation or disruption in neointimal surface.
