Safety and efficacy of biodegradable polymer-coated biolimus-eluting stents

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2013
Background: Using drug eluting stents with a biodegradable polymer ensures that both the drug and coating are absorbed from the stent surface after completing their functions, which may reduce the need for prolonged antiplatelet therapy and decrease the ...

The Best Strategy for the Black Hole Phenomenon between Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography

Diagnostics
The black hole (BH) phenomenon is an intraluminal restenotic lesion. It was identified by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) after intracoronary brachytherapy and drug-eluting stent implantation. Despite the similarity

The Drug-Eluting Stent Saga [PDF]

Circulation, 2009
Drug-eluting stents (DES) represent a breakthrough technology owing to their potent reduction of restenosis, which is a nuisance in the quality of life of affected patients, a rare cause of myocardial infarction (MI), and the principal shortcoming of stents compared with coronary artery bypass surgery.

Left Main Stem Perforation: Management Strategies in a Potentially Catastrophic Event

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Left main stem coronary perforation is a potentially fatal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention if not recognized early and treated emergently. Treating left main stem perforation can be challenging due to the significant hemodynamic effect of one of the important steps, namely balloon tamponade.
