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 ...

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 ...

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

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).

Background Premature discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention is related to higher short‐term risks of adverse outcomes. Whether these risks persist in the long‐term is uncertain. Methods and Results We

Progress in treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention: The stent of the future [PDF]
First generation drug-eluting stents have considerably reduced in-stent restenosis and broadened the applications of percutaneous coronary interventions for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

The role of optical coherence tomography guidance in scaffold versus stent optimization
Background Optical coherence tomography showed a great ability to identify adverse features during percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents and resulted in better clinical outcomes.

Simulating Drug-Eluting Stents: Progress Made and the Way Forward [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have significantly improved the treatment of coronary artery disease. Compared with their bare metal predecessors, they offer reduced rates of restenosis and thus represent the current gold standard in percutaneous coronary ...

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.
