Honeycomb-like structure in the right coronary artery treated with a drug-eluting stent: a case report and literature review

Abstract

A honeycomb-like structure (HLS) is a rare entity encountered in catheterization laboratories. The etiology of HLS remains elusive. Moreover, no treatment guideline or consensus for HLS has been proposed. However, with more frequent adoption of intravascular imaging modalities, the number of cases of HLS is rising. We herein present a case of HLS and summarize previous reports in the literature with the aim of providing useful information for interventional cardiologists and promoting further research.
