Research Abstract

Aims Late stent malapposition (LSM) may be acquired (LASM) or persistent. LSM may play a
role in patients who develop late stent thrombosis (ST). Our objective was to compare the
risk of LASM in bare metal stents (BMS) with drug-eluting stents (DES) and to investigate the
possible association of both acquired and persistent LSM with (very) late S
