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

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.

Drug-eluting stents: a critique [PDF]

open access: possibleHeart, 2008
Despite advances in the design of balloons and stents, restenosis remains a major drawback of coronary angioplasty. Multiple randomised trials have demonstrated that drug-eluting stents (DES) can significantly reduce rates of restenosis by 60-75% across both lesion and patient subsets.

Safety of drug-eluting stents

Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Drug-eluting stents (DESs) effectively reduce angiographic restenosis and the clinical need for repeat revascularization procedures as compared with bare-metal stents. Widely publicized concerns arose recently about the incidence of late and very late stent thrombosis with the use of first-generation DESs.
