Everolimus-Eluting Stents or Bypass Surgery for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
BACKGROUND Patients with obstructive left main coronary artery disease are usually treated with coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG). Randomized trials have suggested that drug-eluting stents may be an acceptable alternative to CABG in selected ...

Tracheomalatia, to stent or not to stent
Benign thyroid disorders such as goiter, especially retrosternal, can cause tracheostenosis by extrinsic tracheal compression, which is due to the lack of specific symptoms often misdiagnosed. Tracheomalatia develops as a result to long term tracheal compression and refers to weakness of the trachea characterized by softness of the tracheal cartilage ...

Microscale stress-geometry interactions in an additively manufactured NiTi cardiovascular stent: A synchrotron dual imaging tomography and diffraction study [PDF]
This study explores cardiovascular stents fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF); an emerging method to offer patient-specific customisable parts. Here, the shape memory alloy NiTi, in a near equiatomic composition, was investigated to deconvolve the material response from macroscopic component effects.

Twelve or 30 months of dual antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting stents.
BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended after coronary stenting to prevent thrombotic complications, yet the benefits and risks of treatment beyond 1 year are uncertain.

Renovascular Hypertension [PDF]
A 69-year-old women smoker was referred to the nephrology clinic for assessment of hypertension and declining kidney function. At the time of referral, serum creatinine was 241 μmol/L and office blood pressure was 191/100 mm Hg. Her general practitioner had already performed 24-hour ambulatory monitoring and found no evidence of a white coat component ...

Objective Although lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are increasingly used for drainage of walled-off necrosis (WON), their advantage over plastic stents is unclear. We compared efficacy of LAMS and plastic stents for WON drainage.

Advances in the development of biodegradable coronary stents: A translational perspective
Implantation of cardiovascular stents is an important therapeutic method to treat coronary artery diseases. Bare-metal and drug-eluting stents show promising clinical outcomes, however, their permanent presence may create complications.

Undeployment of a stent which poses a potential risk for future events may become a serious problem in the catheter laboratory. Herewith, we present a case in which we successfully stented an undeployed stent in the distal right coronary artery.
