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.

Use of drug-eluting vs. bare-metal stents after an acute coronary syndrome in Portugal: The EURHOBOP study [PDF]
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The interventional cardiologist chooses a specific stent type based on the risk-benefit profile for each case. In general, drug-eluting stents should be considered in all clinical conditions, except if there are concerns or ...

We have described a microcomputed tomography method which provides multi‐material detail on the calcified and soft tissue components of vascular occlusions. This is enables models of various components of the occlusion to be 3D printed, for use in the creation of biomimetic analogues.

The Road to the Ideal Stent: A Review of Stent Design Optimisation Methods, Findings, and Opportunities [PDF]
Coronary stent designs have undergone significant transformations in geometry, materials, and drug elution coatings, contributing to the continuous improvement of stenting success over recent decades. However, the increasing use of percutaneous coronary intervention techniques on complex coronary artery disease anatomy continues to be a challenge and ...

A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Treatments have evolved, with stenting becoming the primary approach over bypass surgery. This article reviews the evolution of coronary stent technology, starting from the first angioplasty in 1977. Pioneers like Forssmann, Dotter, and Gruentzig established the foundation.

Simulating Drug-Eluting Stents: Progress Made and the Way Forward [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have significantly improved the treatment of coronary artery disease. Compared with their bare metal predecessors, they offer reduced rates of restenosis and thus represent the current gold standard in percutaneous coronary ...

Zotarolimus-eluting stent fracture at initial implantation diagnosed with StentBoost
Stent fracture is a rare complication of drug-eluting stent implantation with a reported rate of 0.84%–3.2% in various clinical studies with first-generation drug-eluting stents and 29% in autopsy studies.
