Evolutionary perspective of drug eluting stents: from thick polymer to polymer free approach
Background Introduction of Bare Metal Stents (BMS) was itself a revolutionary step in the history of the medical industry; however, Drug Eluting Stents (DES) maintained its superiority over BMS in every aspect from restenosis rate to late lumen loss. The

AbstractEndovascular revascularization strategies have advanced tremendously over the years and are now often considered first line for treatment of peripheral arterial disease. Drug-eluting stents (DESs) have been developed as one of the tools to overcome the limitations of elastic recoil and neointimal hyperplasia observed with balloon angioplasty ...

Drug eluting stents in 2005 [PDF]
In the last 3–5 years there has been a major shift in the management of symptomatic, obstructive coronary artery disease, with a move from predominantly surgical to increasingly a percutaneous approach. The perceived benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) include patient convenience, ease of service expansion, and the fact that more ...

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 ...

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 ...

A novel glycyrrhizin acid-coated stent reduces neointimal formation in a rabbit iliac artery model
Introduction: Most drug-eluting stents (DESs) inhibit intimal hyperplasia but impair re-endothelialization. This study aimed to evaluate in vivo strut coverage and neointimal growth in a new glycyrrhizin acid (GA)-eluting stent.Methods: New Zealand White

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions was associated with worse outcomes in the era of bare‐metal and first‐generation drug‐eluting stents. Data on percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions with newer‐generation

Background and Objectives: The second-generation drug-eluting stents have been used to treat chronic total occlusion lesion. However, there is limited evidence of the clinical outcomes that whether the second-generation drug-eluting stents is superior to

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).
