Drug-Eluting or Bare-Metal Stents for Coronary Artery Disease.
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on the long-term effects of contemporary drug-eluting stents versus contemporary bare-metal stents on rates of death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and stent thrombosis and on quality of life ...

Simulation of bifurcated stent grafts to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) [PDF]
In this paper a method is introduced, to visualize bifurcated stent grafts in CT-Data. The aim is to improve therapy planning for minimal invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Due to precise measurement of the abdominal aortic aneurysm and exact simulation of the bifurcated stent graft, physicians are supported in choosing a suitable ...

Prediction of stent under-expansion in calcified coronary arteries using machine-learning on intravascular optical coherence tomography [PDF]
BACKGROUND Careful evaluation of the risk of stent under-expansions before the intervention will aid treatment planning, including the application of a pre-stent plaque modification strategy. OBJECTIVES It remains challenging to achieve a proper stent expansion in the presence of severely calcified coronary lesions.

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]
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.

Accuracy of Length of Virtual Stents in Treatment of Intracranial Wide-Necked Aneurysms. [PDF]
Background and purposePrecise stent deployment is important for successful treatment of intracranial aneurysms by stent-assisted coiling (SAC). We evaluated the accuracy of virtual stents generated using commercial stent planning software by comparing ...

3D-Printed PCL/PLA Composite Stents: Towards a New Solution to Cardiovascular Problems
Biodegradable stents (BRS) offer enormous potential but first they must meet five specific requirements: (i) their manufacturing process must be precise; (ii) degradation should have minimal toxicity; (iii) the rate of degradation should match the ...

In Silico Fatigue Optimization of TAVR Stent Designs with Physiological Motion in a Beating Heart Model [PDF]
The rapid expansion of TAVR to younger, low-risk patients raises concerns regarding device durability. Necessarily, extended stent lifetime will become more critical for new generation devices. In vitro methods commonly used for TAVR stent fatigue testing exclude the effects of the beating heart.

Evaluation of the effect of metal stents on dose perturbation in the carbon beam irradiation field
Abstract Propose Carbon ion therapy is indicated for cases in which stents have been inserted, such as bile ducts, but the effect of metal stents on carbon ion therapy is unclear. In this study, the dose perturbation of carbon ion therapy caused by metallic bile duct stents was evaluated by dosimetry. Materials and methods Five different types of metal
