Minimally3
- Coronary stents was the highest revenue-generating and fastest growing segment in 2015, registering a CAGR of 9.5% during the analysis period, owing to increasing advances in the field of interventional cardiology coupled with the progress of minimally invasive techniques. (beforeitsnews.com)
- Our study suggests the minimally invasive approach shows real promise, and we are embarking on a large, randomized study of the two procedures to develop guidelines that can be used for determining when a stent is likely to be best and when a bypass cannot be avoided. (jhu.edu)
- In contrast to minimally invasive stenting, a so-called femoral-popliteal bypass requires a large incision to open the leg, and the surgical attachment of a piece of vein or a synthetic tube above and below the blockage to reroute blood flow. (jhu.edu)
Procedure2
- Because angiographically guided stent implantation is a highly specialized procedure, proper equipment is necessary for imaging and for the procedure itself. (medscape.com)
- Patients who received stents had a 31 percent risk of needing another procedure to restore blood flow within 24 months, while those who received a bypass had a 54 percent chance of needing another intervention. (jhu.edu)
