Is a Drug-Eluting Stent the Default Treatment Strategy for Drug-Eluting Stent Restenosis?∗
In 2001, when Morice et al. [(1)][1] presented the initial results of RAVEL (The Randomized Study With the Sirolimus-Coated Bx Velocity Balloon-Expandable Stent in the Treatment of Patients With De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions), showing 0% angiographic restenosis 6 months after ...

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

Use of balloon catheter dilation and steroid-eluting stent in light and severe rhinosinusitis of frontal sinus: a multicenter retrospective randomized study [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Frontal sinus surgery has an increased rate of re-stenosis, if compared to other sinuses, that mainly depends on recurrent inflammation and abnormal scarring at the frontal recess; its reduction represents one of the keys of therapeutic ...

This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

Deformation Mechanics of Self-expanding Venous Stents: Modelling and Experiments [PDF]
Deformation properties of venous stents based on braided design, chevron design, Z design, and diamond design are compared using in vitro experiments coupled with analytical and finite element modelling. Their suitability for deployment in different clinical contexts is assessed based on their deformation characteristics. Self-expanding stainless steel

Drug-eluting stents: current issues [PDF]
Early stent thrombosis occurs in about 1% to 1.5% of patients with drug-eluting stents, very similar to the rate with bare-metal stents. Late stent thrombosis is more of a concern with drug-eluting stents, with an incidence of at least 0.35%.

Artesunate Inhibits Neointimal Hyperplasia by Promoting IRF4 Associated Macrophage Polarization
This study shows that macrophage interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) improved arterial injury‐induced neointimal hyperplasia by promoting of M2 polarization via up‐regulating krüppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in rodent and nonhuman primate models. Notably, artesunate is identified as a potent inducer of IRF4 in macrophages, and proposed as a promising ...

Non-ST elevation of acute myocardial infarction caused by probable acute stent thrombosis after drug eluting stent implantation: a case report [PDF]
Nowadays, one of the modalities in performing reperfusion in coronary artery disease ispercutaneous coronary intervention. Before drug eluting stent era, the problem that occurs themost among interventional cardiologists is restenosis. After drug eluting
