The Drug-Eluting Stent Saga [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 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.

Safety of Drug-Eluting Stents

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2010
Significant evolution in catheter-based technologies for percutaneous coronary intervention has occurred since the introduction of coronary balloon angioplasty by Andreas Grüntzig in 1977. As balloon angioplasty was supplanted by bare metal stents and subsequently drug-eluting stents (DES), randomized comparative clinical trials have demonstrated a ...

Stent Thrombosis With Drug-Eluting Stents

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
First-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), which impart the controlled release of sirolimus or paclitaxel from durable polymers to the vessel wall, have been consistently shown to reduce the risk of restenosis and target vessel revascularization compared with bare metal stents (BMS).

Drug eluting stents in 2005 [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2005
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 ...

Stents and Drug-Eluting Stents [PDF]

open access: possibleOtolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2009
Synechiae and ostial stenosis are common and troublesome complications following endoscopic sinus surgery. Many investigators have advocated the use of stents to minimize the risk of postoperative stenosis while others have found their use to be of no benefit. This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages of various stents used in sinus surgery,

Drug-Eluting Stents

Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2022
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

Annual Review of Medicine, 2004
Advances in catheter and stent design have made stent implantation the standard coronary angioplasty procedure. Unfortunately, in-stent restenosis continues to plague this procedure, with the optimum binary restenosis rates reaching ∼10% to 20%. In the past few years, it has become clear that in-stent restenosis is largely due to the migration and ...

Drug-eluting stents: a reappraisal [PDF]

open access: possibleHeart, 2010
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in 2002 revolutionised the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), by significantly reducing rates of restenosis when compared to bare-metal stents (BMS).1 Following this there was a rapid and unprecedented uptake in their use, such that within a matter of years they were used in approximately 80–

An Update on Drug-Eluting Stents

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2012
Coronary artery disease remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention has been shown to be an effective treatment for angina pectoris, although it does not provide any prognostic benefit in stable patients.
