Angioplasty and bare metal stents were plagued by high failure rates on account of restenosis leading to repeat revascularization procedures. Insights into pathophysiology of instent restenosis (ISR) and neointimal hyperplasia triggered the development of DES. The dreamlike remarkable reduction in ISR with DES was enthusiastically welcomed. Soon thereafter emerged the spectre of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) with DES.
