Drug-eluting stent thrombosis [PDF]
Stent thrombosis is a rare complication following stent implantation; if it occurs, however, it is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Despite reduced rates of restenosis, drug-eluting stents (DES) have not reduced the incidence of stent thrombosis as compared with bare-metal stents (BMS).

Second Generation Drug-Eluting Stents: A Review of the Everolimus-Eluting Platform
Everolimus-eluting stents (EES) represent the next generation of drug-eluting stents (DES). Important design modifications include thin strut stent backbones, less inflammatory and more biocompatible polymers, and lower drug dosing.

Last week an expert panel of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that the FDA should issue warnings to doctors and patients about drug eluting coronary stents. The safety of such stents is unclear except in low risk patients. Furthermore, patients with drug eluting stents should take antiplatelet therapy for at least one year after ...

In their recent systematic review, Suzanne Ligthart and associates compared analyses of the cost-effectiveness of drug-eluting stents.[1][1] They found that in most studies in which an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio greater than $50 000 per quality-adjusted life-year was calculated the ...

Stent thrombosis and drug-eluting stents [PDF]
Coronary stents have been used for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and significantly improved procedural safety and are associated with a lower rate of restenosis compared with balloon angioplasty alone. Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been dominant for the treatment of CAD with efficacy in significantly reducing both ...
