Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

Immediate Small Side Branch Occlusion after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2007
Background: Small side branches, albeit less important than their larger counterparts, have not yet received due attention in the literature. Nor has there ever been a comparison between drug-eluting stents and bare metal stents apropos side branch ...

Coating Techniques and Release Kinetics of Drug-Eluting Stents.

Journal of Medical Devices, 2016
Implantation of drug-eluting stents (DESs) via percutaneous coronary intervention is the most popular treatment option to restore blood flow to occluded vasculature. The many devices currently used in clinic and under examination in research laboratories

Ischaemic Heart Disease Masquerading as Headache: A Case Series

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Headache is a rare yet clinically significant presentation of ischaemic heart disease (IHD). While chest pain is the hallmark symptom of myocardial ischaemia (MI), some patients present with atypical symptoms, such as headaches, which lead to diagnostic challenges and potential delays in treatment.

Drug-eluting stents versus bare-metal stents for acute coronary syndrome.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017
BACKGROUND Approximately 3.7 million people died from acute coronary syndrome worldwide in 2012. Acute coronary syndrome, also known as myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris, is caused by a sudden blockage of the blood supplied to the heart ...

Stent Fracture of Biolimus‐Eluting Stent (Biofreedom) Complicated With Micro‐Coronary Artery Aneurysm

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coronary stent fractures (SFs) are an emerging complication of coronary stents. There are numerous risk factors for SF, which include vessel angulation, use of sirolimus‐eluting stent (SES), long stents, multiple stent layers, stent overlap, inflammation, hypersensitivity, stenting in the right coronary artery, heavy calcification, ostial ...

Hemodynamics of Stent Implantation Procedures in Coronary Bifurcations: an in vitro study [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Stent implantation in coronary bifurcations presents unique challenges and currently there is no universally accepted stent deployment approach. Despite clinical and computational studies, to date, the effect of each stent implantation method on the coronary artery hemodynamics is not well understood.

Drug-Eluting or Bare-Metal Stents for Coronary Artery Disease.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the long-term effects of contemporary drug-eluting stents versus contemporary bare-metal stents on rates of death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and stent thrombosis and on quality of life ...

Bioresorbable Scaffold Visualization in IVOCT Images Using CNNs and Weakly Supervised Localization [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Bioresorbable scaffolds have become a popular choice for treatment of coronary heart disease, replacing traditional metal stents. Often, intravascular optical coherence tomography is used to assess potential malapposition after implantation and for follow-up examinations later on.
