Abstract

We encountered a case of late regression after sirolimus-eluting stent restenosis. We report this case with intravascular ultrasound imaging demonstrating an intraluminal echolucent tissue, which looks like a black hole.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
