• Background Right coronary artery (RCA) ostial lesions are reported to be a risk factor of restenosis in patients undergoing drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Between the restenosis and nonrestenosis groups, no significant differences existed in the minimum lumen area (3.8±1.4 mm2 vs. 4.5±2.5 mm2, p=0.22) and the EEM area (20.0±5.5 mm2 vs. 20.7±6.1 mm2, p=0.61), but the calcification rate was significantly higher in the restenosis group (52.6% vs. 24.8%, p=0.01), and the postprocedural stent area and SVR were significantly smaller in the restenosis group (11.7±3.0 mm2 vs. 14.2±3.7 mm2, p=0.01 and 0.60±0.15 vs. 0.71±0.18, p=0.22, respectively).
