Official Title: Intra-stent Tissue Evaluation Within BMS and DES > 3 Years Since Implantation

Brief Summary: This study aims to test the hypothesis that plaque composition differs within a stent between bare metal stents and drug eluting stents (DES). It is possible that a difference in plaque composition seen within a stent may be contributory to the late thrombotic events seen more frequently with DES.
