This is a case report on the ability of 16‐slice computed tomography in assessing the patency of coronary stent and diagnosing an asymptomatic stenotic lesion with soft plaque morphology. These findings were confirmed with a selective coronary angiography. Identification of lesion morphology facilitated our decision on prophylactic and direct stenting to the lesion. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
