Background: Coronary angioscopy (CAS) is used to comprehensively evaluate vascular responses after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. This study sought to evaluate the capability of CAS for evaluating DES strut coverage grade and color grade of the intima compared with histological images in cor...
