Abstract

A case of a 72-year-old gentleman with very late non-target lesion revascularization is presented illustrating late atherosclerosis progression despite long-term statin therapy, while at the same time long-lasting patency of drug-eluting stents implanted 12 years earlier is pictorially exemplified.
