Fig 2. MCA in-stent restenosis with correlative CTA (A) and DSA (B). This patient previously required a coronary stent (number sign) for critical supraclinoid stenosis proximal to the Wingspan stent (asterisk) in the adjacent MCA. Note the extensive blooming effect related to the coronary stent in comparison with the adjacent Wingspan stent.
