Stent thrombosis and drug-eluting stents [PDF]
Coronary stents have been used for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and significantly improved procedural safety and are associated with a lower rate of restenosis compared with balloon angioplasty alone. Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been dominant for the treatment of CAD with efficacy in significantly reducing both ...

A mixed treatment comparison for short- and long-term outcomes of bare metal and drug eluting coronary stents [PDF]
Background The increasing use of drug eluting stents in interventional cardiology calls for assessment of their efficacy and safety, both among drug eluting and bare-metal stents, in the context of rational decision making.

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

Pharmacokinetic analysis after implantation of everolimus-eluting self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature [PDF]
Background: A novel self-expanding drug-eluting stent was designed to release everolimus 225 mu g/cm(2) to prevent restenosis following peripheral arterial intervention.

Percutaneous coronary revascularisation has revolutionised the treatment of ischaemic heart disease during the past two decades. Despite technical refinements, however, long term results after using standard techniques remain limited by the phenomenon of restenosis—a process whereby elastic recoil and neointimal hyperplasia occur at the site of ...

Outcomes of supraflex Sirolimus-eluting coronary stents
Background: The development of a sirolimus-eluting coronary stent (SES) was a big step forward in interventional cardiology. SES has been demonstrated in large, randomized clinical studies to reduce angiographic restenosis and target vessel ...
