The impact of overlap of drug-eluting stents on clinical and angiographic outcomes is controversial. Individuals with long coronary lesions requiring implantation of multiple stents are an ...

In summary, long and small-sized ostial, overlapping stents were implanted in an elderly, diabetic female patient with diabetes mellitus, three-vessel CAD with a well collateralized ostial CTO of ...

In addition, it was found that overlap with second-generation DES may be safe and effective, and the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES)+SES group had higher rate of MACE-free survival than the ...

Compromised collateral flow that causes focal infractions may result from coronary side-branch obstruction, or an occlusion from multiple, overlapping stents. Surgical Dilemma: What to do With ...

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of drug eluting stent (DES) overlap on clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We analyzed the angiographic ...

In some cases, a single stent was not sufficient to remodel the blood flow sufficiently or completely cover the entire length of the lesion, so subsequent overlapping stents or cascading stents were ...

six-bridge construction with an offset peak-to-valley design providing smooth lumen and stent contourability without strut overlapping or fish scaling. The fracture rate in an unpublished trial was ...

The target lesion should be treatable with no more than two overlapping stents, limiting the stent overlap to up to 10 mm (by visual estimate). All lesions must be at least 3 cm above the knee joint ...

In 5 of 7 lesions with tissue prolapse >500 µm, additional stents were overlapped. In cases with overlapping stents, slices with any tissue prolapse were significantly decreased from 26% to 16% ...

In our cohort, it appears that radiologically, 2 overlapping stents are more frequently required to achieve the desired effect. We suspect this is because of endoscopic direct visualisation of the ...

The aneurysm had little sac for coiling and the artery of the lesion had some perforator branches; thus, we selected the monotherapy with three overlapping low-profile visualised intraluminal support ...

The mean ages were 61.7±14.0 (39.4% men) for the angioplasty group and 63.2±13.2 (36.8% men) for the covered stent group. All studies but one reported hypertension and diabetes as comorbidities; two ...
