The increased main branch to stent diameter ratio is associated with side branch decreased coronary flow in "true" coronary artery bifurcations treated by "provisional" stenting - a two-dimensional quantitative coronary angiography study [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2020 Background/Aim. Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in bifurcation lesions having more than 50% stenosis of both the main branch (MB) and the side branch (SB) remain challenging.

Mixed formulation of the one-dimensional equilibrium model for elastic stents [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we formulate and analyze the mixed formulation of the one-dimensional equilibrium model of elastic stents. The model is based on the curved rod model for the inextensible and ushearable struts and is formulated in the weak form in \v{C}ani\'

Investigating the flow dynamics in the obstructed and stented ureter by means of a biomimetic artificial model. [PDF]
, 2014 Double-J stenting is the most common clinical method employed to restore the upper urinary tract drainage, in the presence of a ureteric obstruction. After implant, stents provide an immediate pain relief by decreasing the pressure in the renal pelvis (P)

Inhibition of in-stent stenosis by oral administration of bindarit in porcine coronary arteries [PDF]
, 2011 <p><b>Objective:</b> We have previously demonstrated that bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs), is effective in reducing neointimal formation in rodent models of vascular injury by reducing smooth ...

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
, 2016 Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.
