WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2009
AbstractThis paper reviews the development of coronary stents from a polymer scientist's view point, and presents the first results of an interdisciplinary team assembled for the development of new stent systems. Poly(styrene‐b‐isobutylene‐b‐styrene) block copolymer (SIBS), a nanostructured thermoplastic elastomer, is used in clinical practice as the ...

Drug-eluting stents: a critique
Heart, 2008Despite 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.

Drug-Eluting Stents in the Elderly
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2010The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in 2003 has had a great impact on the management of coronary artery disease in the United States. The application of DES to older adults, the population with the highest prevalence of and worst prognosis for coronary artery disease, remains relatively more controversial.

Drug-eluting stents (DESs) held the promise of mitigating, if not abolishing, in-stent restenosis. This led to early adoption and high penetration of DES use in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Outcomes have not demonstrated an improvement in the hard end points of death and myocardial infarction with these devices, but repeat procedures for ...

Current Problems in Cardiology, 2006
The introduction and widespread use of coronary stents have been the most important advancement in the percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease since the introduction of balloon angioplasty. Coronary artery stents reduce the rate of angiographic and clinical restenosis compared to balloon angioplasty.

Drug Eluting Stents and Beyond
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2008The present review discusses the mechanism of late stent thrombosis and its distinction from restenosis and summarizes the advisory note issued by FDA on the proper usage of different treatments available for atherosclerosis. In light of the latest developments, a plethora of new stents have been and continue to be developed globally. Hence, there is a

Drug-eluting stents: a reappraisal
Heart, 2010The 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–

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 2007
Coronary artery disease is the number 1 killer of Americans. There are many efforts underway to prevent and treat this life-threatening disease. One such treatment is the placement of drug-eluting stents. However, recent reports that show an increased risk of potentially life-threatening complications associated with drug-eluting stents have surfaced ...

Currently, little data are available on the management of drug-eluting stent (DES) restenosis. Drug resistance may play a role in its etiology.We identified all cases of either sirolimus-eluting or paclitaxel-eluting stent restenosis treated with repeated DES implantation.
