Drug-eluting stent in diabetes [PDF]
Long-term evaluation of cardiovascular risk among diabetic patients has shown that the incidence of death due to myocardial infarction among these patients is 20%, whereas among nondiabetic patients it is only 3.5%. Such observations haveled to classifying diabetes as a risk that is equivalent to establi shed coronary artery disease.

A Fast Method of Virtual Stent Graft Deployment for Computer Assisted EVAR [PDF]
In this paper we introduce a new method simulating stent graft deployment for assisting endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The method relies on intraoperative images coupled with mechanical models. A multi-step algorithm has been developed to increase the reliability of simulations.

Abstract Background Elderly patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are usually excluded from major trials. Hyopthesis This study sought to assess 1‐year clinical outcomes following PCI with a drug‐eluting stent in patients older than 80 years old with STEMI.

Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

In silico modeling for personalized stenting in aortic coarctation [PDF]
Stent intervention is a recommended therapy to reduce the pressure gradient and restore blood flow for patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). In this work, we developed a framework for personalized stent intervention in CoA using in silico modeling, combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and image-based prediction of the geometry of the ...

Microscale stress-geometry interactions in an additively manufactured NiTi cardiovascular stent: A synchrotron dual imaging tomography and diffraction study [PDF]
This study explores cardiovascular stents fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF); an emerging method to offer patient-specific customisable parts. Here, the shape memory alloy NiTi, in a near equiatomic composition, was investigated to deconvolve the material response from macroscopic component effects.

Progress in treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention: The stent of the future [PDF]
First generation drug-eluting stents have considerably reduced in-stent restenosis and broadened the applications of percutaneous coronary interventions for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

An Analysis of Cost-Effectiveness of Stents Used in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease
Background: There is only limited information about the cost-effectiveness of drug-eluting stents compared with bare-metal stents in Turkey. Aims: To evaluate bare-metal and drug-eluting stents used in the treatment of coronary artery disease from the ...

AMI with normal ECG and biomarkers of cardiac injury is exceedingly rare. The clinical manifestations of AMI were complex and varied, especially that the patients with atypical AMI were increasing in clinical practice. Caution should be exercised to exclude AMI in patients with chest pain and both normal ECG and biomarkers of cardiac injury.
