Radioactive stents have been reported to reduce in-stent neointimal thickening. An unexpected increase in neointimal response was observed, however, at the stent-to-artery transitions, the so-called "edge effect." To investigate the factors involved in this edge effect, we studied stents with 1 radioactive half and 1 regular nonradioactive half, thereby creating a midstent radioactive dose-falloff zone next to a nonradioactive stent-artery transition at one side and a radioactive stent-artery transition at the other side.
