Drug-Eluting Stents

Annual Review of Medicine, 2004
Advances in catheter and stent design have made stent implantation the standard coronary angioplasty procedure. Unfortunately, in-stent restenosis continues to plague this procedure, with the optimum binary restenosis rates reaching ∼10% to 20%. In the past few years, it has become clear that in-stent restenosis is largely due to the migration and ...

Stents and Drug-Eluting Stents

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2009
Synechiae and ostial stenosis are common and troublesome complications following endoscopic sinus surgery. Many investigators have advocated the use of stents to minimize the risk of postoperative stenosis while others have found their use to be of no benefit. This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages of various stents used in sinus surgery,

Drug‐eluting stent coatings

WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2009
AbstractThis paper reviews the development of coronary stents from a polymer scientist's view point, and presents the first results of an interdisciplinary team assembled for the development of new stent systems. Poly(styrene‐b‐isobutylene‐b‐styrene) block copolymer (SIBS), a nanostructured thermoplastic elastomer, is used in clinical practice as the ...

Modelling drug-eluting stents

Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 2010
In this study, we consider a family of mathematical models to describe the elution of drug from polymer-coated stents into the arterial wall. Our models include the polymer layer, the media, the adventitia, a possible topcoat polymer layer and atherosclerotic plaque.

Drug-Eluting Stent Safety

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2007
Drug-eluting stents (DESs) held the promise of mitigating, if not abolishing, in-stent restenosis. This led to early adoption and high penetration of DES use in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Outcomes have not demonstrated an improvement in the hard end points of death and myocardial infarction with these devices, but repeat procedures for ...

Drug-Eluting Coronary Stents

Current Problems in Cardiology, 2006
The introduction and widespread use of coronary stents have been the most important advancement in the percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease since the introduction of balloon angioplasty. Coronary artery stents reduce the rate of angiographic and clinical restenosis compared to balloon angioplasty.

Drug-Eluting Stents

Heart Drug, 2003
Although coronary stenting improves angiographic and clinical outcome of patients with coronary stenosis compared to balloon angioplasty, in-stent restenosis (ISR) still represents a major limitation of this approach. In the last decades several attempts have been made to lower ISR occurrence but most of the strategies adopted failed to demonstrate any

Drug-Eluting Stents

The Journal of invasive cardiology, 2013
Advances in the field of stents have revolutionised the treatment of coronary artery diseases. To provide effective treatment for coronary artery disease, a stent has to be deliverable and flexible, cause minimal trauma to the vessel wall, cause minimal inflammatory reaction, endothelialise well, provide scaffolding for the vessel, and finally promote ...
