A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

An engineered in vitro platform mimicking stent strut cross‐sectional shapes reveals how geometry influences cell behavior. Sharp‐cornered geometries promote cell proliferation and matrix alignment, while rounded shapes reduce these effects. The findings align with clinical outcomes and suggest intracellular tension as a key driver, offering a ...

Assessing a 600-mg Loading Dose of Clopidogrel 24 Hours Prior to Pipeline Embolization Device Treatment [PDF]
Background: Clopidogrel/aspirin antiplatelet therapy routinely is administered 7-10 days before pipeline aneurysm treatment. Our study assessed the safety and efficacy of a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel 24 hours before Pipeline Embolization Device ...

ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...

Coronary wedge pressure: A predictor of restenosis after coronary balloon angioplasty
Coronary wedge pressure is the pressure recorded distal to a stenosis while the inflated balloon occludes the coronary artery during angioplasty. This pressure has been shown to reflect actual (visible) and potential (recruitable) collateral flow to the stenosed artery, distal to the angioplasty site.

ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and

The Development of Coronary Artery Stents: From Bare-Metal to Bio-Resorbable Types
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional balloon angioplasty is associated with high rates of complications such as coronary dissection and vessel recoil.

ABSTRACT Performing adjunctive intravascular imaging during femoropopliteal endovascular intervention could improve treatment planning and outcome. This systematic review assessed how imaging findings of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) can contribute to improving treatment planning and outcomes of patients with ...
