Abstract
Restenosis of an endovascular stent may be caused by thrombus, intimal hyperplasia, or extrinsic compression. Angiography may not adequately define the etiology of restenosis. We describe a patient in whom angioscopy proved important in diagnosing intimal hyperplasia obviating the need for thrombolytic therapy and prolonged anti‐coagulation.
