In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a critical drawback of coronary stents, although initially described as benign, guidelines both support the use of intravascular imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of stent failure (Class IIa); however, our case highlights the limitation of optical coherence tomography in the assessment of the ISR (stent failure), it also highlights the association of self-limited severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 illness and an acute coronary syndrome ISR presentation.
