Drug-Eluting Stents in the Elderly [PDF]
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2010 The 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.

Coronary stents have revolutionized the management of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. This chapter will review the problems associated with percutaneous coronary intervention when performed using balloon angioplasty and bare-metal stents, before discussing the first and second generation drug-eluting stents (DESs).

Advances in the field of stents have revolutionised the treatment of coronary artery diseases. To provide effective treatment for coronary artery disease, a stent has to be deliverable and flexible, cause minimal trauma to the vessel wall, cause minimal inflammatory reaction, endothelialise well, provide scaffolding for the vessel, and finally promote ...

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 ...

Polymers for Drug Eluting Stents
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2010Currently approved drug eluting stents (DES) consist of a metallic scaffold and an elutable drug dispersed in a polymer matrix that conformally surrounds the struts. These primarily biostable polymers bind the drug to the stent and modulate the elution of the drug into the arterial tissue.

Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 2010
In this study, we consider a family of mathematical models to describe the elution of drug from polymer-coated stents into the arterial wall. Our models include the polymer layer, the media, the adventitia, a possible topcoat polymer layer and atherosclerotic plaque.

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2007
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 ...

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

Over the last decade, the most radical change in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice has been the rapid incorporation of intracoronary stenting, to the extent that it is now used in well over 80% of all angioplasty procedures. This change in practice has occurred as a consequence of landmark studies, such as STRESS (Stent Restenosis Study)
