OBJECTIVE
One of the drug-eluting stents that have been introduced into clinical practice is the paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES). Several randomised, controlled clinical trials have already been conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this stent, but data regarding clinical practice are
OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of age on safety and efficacy of paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) implantation during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
BACKGROUND
The benefits of paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES)
BACKGROUND
The TAXUS Liberté Post Approval Study (TL-PAS) contributed patients treated with TAXUS Liberté paclitaxel-eluting stent and prasugrel to the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Study (DAPT) that compared 12 and 30 months thienopyridine plus aspirin therapy after drug-eluting
OBJECTIVE
To assess the influence of race on long-term outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES).
BACKGROUND
Data on the influence of race on long-term outcomes following PCI with drug-eluting stents are limited because of severe
BACKGROUND
The biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents have been proposed as an alternative to durable polymer DES, theoretically improving vessel healing and reducing the need for prolonged double anti platelet therapy (DAPT), however clinical significance of this technology is under debate.
Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease, and neurological symptoms occur in 50% of cases, most commonly including headache, dizziness, visual disturbances, convulsive crisis, transient ischemic attack, stroke and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The aim of this study was
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to compare contemporary surgical revascularization (coronary artery bypass graft surgery [CABG]) versus TAXUS Express (Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with left main and/or 3-vessel
Patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) are at increased risk for cardiovascular events compared with patients undergoing non-LAD PCI. We assessed the impact of bivalirudin and
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients treated with everolimus-eluting stents (EES) with outcomes of patients treated with first-generation paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) for unprotected left main disease (ULMD).
BACKGROUND
No data exist about the comparison of
OBJECTIVE
Symptomatic intracranial vertebral and basilar artery atherosclerotic stenoses carry a high risk of stroke and permanent disability if refractory to maximal medical therapy. The authors conducted a study to determine the technical feasibility and midterm clinical and angiographic outcomes
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a biodegradable polymer coated, paclitaxel eluting stent (Luc-Chopin(2)) based on 9-months angiographic and 12-months clinical follow-up results.
BACKGROUND
First-generation drug-eluting stents utilize
BACKGROUND
In the prospective, randomized Harmonizing Outcomes with Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction (HORIZONS-AMI) trial, implantation of paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) safely reduced the rates of ischemic target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared with bare metal
BACKGROUND
The paclitaxel drug-eluting stent (Taxus, Boston Scientific) is FDA approved for treatment of coronary artery disease in simple, noncomplex coronary lesions. In this registry, we sought to investigate the procedural success and long-term outcomes of patients receiving the Taxus stent in
OBJECTIVE
The long-term performance of polymer-free stent systems in patients with diabetes mellitus has not been investigated extensively. This study reports long-term results of the LIPSIA Yukon trial which compared the polymer-free sirolimus-eluting Yukon Choice stent with the polymer-based
OBJECTIVE
Dedicated bifurcation stents seem to be the most promising solution for treating bifurcations. The aim of our study was to present the 12 months results of a new dedicated stent for coronary bifurcation lesions -the paclitaxel-eluting stent- BiOSS® Expert (Bifurcation Optimisation Stent
