Optimization of stent designs regarding the thrombosis risk using computational fluid dynamics
In-stent thrombosis is a major complication of stent implantations. Unlike pathological occurrences as in-stent restenosis for instance, thrombosis represents an acute event associated with high mortality rates.

An Unusual Case of Stent-in-Stent Thrombosis
A 71-year-old man was admitted for acute coronary syndrome. Six weeks earlier, he had a Promus Premier 3.0 × 12-mm (Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) drug-eluting stent (DES) implanted in the obtuse marginal (OM) artery for unstable angina. On repeat coronary angiography, haziness ([

Background: Conventional statistical methods used in clinical trials lack the ability to predict patient specific risk and very often do not consider the effects of time varying interventions.

Bivalirudin started during emergency transport for primary PCI. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bivalirudin, as compared with heparin and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, has been shown to reduce rates of bleeding and death in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Case Report: INTRAPROCEDURAL STENT THROMBOSIS IN PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY
Stent thrombosis is a rare complication of PCI but associated with STEMI and sudden cardiac death. Intra procedural stent thrombosis (IPST) was defined new or increasing (compared with baseline) thrombus within or adjacent to a deployed stent occurring ...

Background While developments in oncology have lengthened survival in patients with cancer, such patients often develop cardiovascular diseases. Thus, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is frequently undertaken in them.

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

A Pressure Microsensor Made of Parylene‐C for Use as Medical Implant
A monolithic parylene‐C pressure sensor with gold strain gauges provides 6.2 μV$\mu{\rm V}$·mmHg$\cdot{\rm mmHg}$−1$^{-1}$ sensitivity. The morphology of a sputtered thin film strain sensor is granular/columnar, which results in a high gauge factor of 7.5. Thermal bonding and parylene‐C coating create a hermetic cavity.

Intracoronary tenecteplase for stent thrombosis
Stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a challenging and life threatening situation. Thrombus aspiration, balloon angioplasty, use of newer antiplatelets and adjunctive glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are commonly used as ...

The concept of stenting—intravascular mechanical support by transluminally placed endoprostheses—was first proposed by Charles Dotter >30 years ago.1 As an intrinsic property of the metallic endoprostheses, early thrombotic occlusion of freshly deployed stents has been a concern since their introduction to human coronary circulation in 1986.2 The ...
