Abstract Tortuous coronary lesions are associated with adverse outcomes after implantation of bare metal or first-generation drugeluting stents (DESs). We investigated the impact of lesion angle on vessel wall injuries and stent apposition as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after second- and newer-generation DES implantation. We investigated 95 de novo lesions treated with a single DES (62 platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stents and 33 bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents). Post-intervention OCT findings were compared between angled lesions (≥ 45°; n = 33) and nonangled lesions (
