Background— Systematic analysis of in vivo angioscopy and postmortem histopathology for paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) has not been previously reported. We assessed 1-month angioscopic and ...

Early reports of carotid stenting mainly used balloon-expandable stents such as the Palmaz stent (Johnson & Johnson Interventional Systems), which can usually be positioned with greater precision than ...

Individuals with diabetes mellitus have worse outcomes, and particularly a higher rate of restenosis, following revascularization than those without diabetes. The advent of drug-eluting stents has ...

Background and aim: Covered self-expandable metal stents (EMS) were recently developed to overcome tumour ingrowth in conventional EMS. However, supporting evidence for the efficacy of covered EMS is ...

Table 1. Permanent polymer drug-eluting stent characteristics. DES name Stent platform Strut thickness (µm) Polymer Antiproliferative drug ...

Background and objective Stent-assisted coil embolization is a well-established treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms. The Neuroform Atlas Stent System is a new generation microstent ...

Objective The primary objective was to assess the performance of a new generation thin-strut sirolimus-eluting coronary stent with abluminal biodegradable polymer in an all comer population. The ...

Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been recently developed to improve treatment outcomes in the endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC), particularly in walled-off necrosis ...

Salvage therapy employing overlapping stent deployment successfully reestablished luminal patency, enabling resumption of unrestricted oral nutrition. The secondary intervention demonstrated durable ...

Most patients with diabetes suffer from impaired endothelial function and neointimal thickening, which contribute to arterial atherosclerosis and increase the frequency of adverse cardiovascular ...

Khurshid R. Ghani, MBChB, MS, FRCS, discusses how results from the SOUL trial may shape clinical decision-making regarding stent placement. The SOUL trial (NCT05866081) is an ongoing study to assess ...

There has been a tremendous growth in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) with stent implantation, even in cases where coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) demonstrates superior long-term ...
