This paper reports the first in vivo testing of a resonant-heating stent toward wireless hyperthermia treatment of in-stent restenosis. The stent, made of gold-coated medical-grade stainless steel, is ...

This case is unique because it documents a rare occurrence of a Type IV stent fracture following percutaneous coronary ...

Despite remarkable advances in coronary interventional cardiology, in-stent restenosis of bare metal stents (BMS) and late thrombosis of drug-eluting stents (DES) are perceived as the most important ...

Auxetic materials are characterized by getting thiner/ larger in tension/compression. This counterintuitive behavior is advantageous in specific applications such as self-expandable stents. There are ...

Indeed, the incidence of multiple stent placement is up to 28% in paclitaxel-eluting stent (TAXUS) trials. 16,17 Even more than single stents, overlapping PES might be expected to elicit delayed ...

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 ...

Future Perspective Given the relatively low incidence of VLST with later generation durable polymer stents such as that demonstrated in SPIRIT IV, [50] the utility of bioabsorbable polymer ...

While chemotherapy can be lifesaving, it also damages DNA and leads to cognitive issues known as "chemo brain." These effects resemble the memory and learning problems seen in older adults ...

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 ...

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