The future of drug-eluting stents

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2008
This review aims to provide a glimpse into the future of drug-eluting stents (DES). Since their arrival in 2002, DES have transformed the practice of interventional cardiology by drastically reducing restenosis and the need for repeat revascularization.

Drug Distribution and Stent Retention of Drug Eluting Stents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper the examinations of drug eluting coronary stents are shown, such as the morphology of the coatings before expansion, drug distribution, the methodology and the value of stent retention.

Novel Drug‐Testing Platform for Vascular Injury‐induced Intimal Hyperplasia Using a Microphysiological System

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a 3D vascular injury model using a microphysiological system that mimics key features of intimal hyperplasia. Antiproliferative drugs reduced VSMC proliferation but worsened endothelialdenudation. A combination of diphenyleneiodonium and quercetin effectively reduced proliferation and migration of VSMC and inflammation while ...

Does the use of paclitaxel or rapamycin-eluting stent decrease further need for coronary-artery bypass grafting when compared with bare-metal stent?

open access: yesSão Paulo Medical Journal
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents reduce the need for surgical revascularization. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether paclitaxel or rapamycin-eluting stent are effective in avoiding the need ...

Very Late Stent Thrombosis 42 Months after Implantation of Sirolimus-Eluting Stent and Discontinuation of Antiplatelet Therapy

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2009
Although safety profiles of sirolimus-eluting stents do not seem to differ in short-to-medium term from those of bare-metal stents, late stent thrombosis after deployment of drug-eluting stents has emerged as a potential safety concern in the era of high-

Drug-eluting stents: current issues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Early stent thrombosis occurs in about 1% to 1.5% of patients with drug-eluting stents, very similar to the rate with bare-metal stents. Late stent thrombosis is more of a concern with drug-eluting stents, with an incidence of at least 0.35%.

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Efficacy and Safety of Drug-Eluting Stents in the Real World: 8-Year Follow-Up

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2014
Background: Drug-eluting stents have been used in daily practice since 2002, with the clear advantages of reducing the risk of target vessel revascularization and an impressive reduction in restenosis rate by 50%-70%.
