PlA polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa and risk of restenosis after coronary stent placement. (1/7427)

BACKGROUND: Platelets play a central role in the process of restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions. A polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa (PlA) has been associated with a higher risk of coronary thrombosis. We designed this prospective study to test the hypothesis that PlA polymorphism of glycoprotein IIIa is associated with an increased risk for restenosis after coronary stent placement. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study included 1150 consecutive patients with successful coronary stent placement and 6-month follow-up with coronary angiography. The end point of the study was the incidence of angiographic restenosis (>/=50% diameter stenosis) at follow-up. Of the 1150 patients, 72.5% were homozygous for PlA1, 24.7% were heterozygous (PlA1/A2), and 2.8% were homozygous for PlA2. Patients with the PlA2 allele demonstrated a significantly higher restenosis rate than did those without (47% versus 38%; OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.84). The risk was highest in homozygous carriers of PlA2 (53.1% restenosis rate). After adjustment for several clinical and angiographic characteristics, the presence of the PlA2 allele remained a significantly independent risk factor for restenosis (adjusted OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.70). The influence of the PlA2 allele on restenosis was stronger in women. Women with PlA2 had a restenosis rate of 52% compared with the 33% incidence among women homozygous for PlA1 (OR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.85). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a significant association between the PlA polymorphism of glycoprotein IIIa and the risk of restenosis after coronary stent placement. The risk was more pronounced in patients homozygous for PlA2 allele and in female patients.  (+info)

In-stent neointimal proliferation correlates with the amount of residual plaque burden outside the stent: an intravascular ultrasound study. (2/7427)

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between residual plaque burden after coronary stent implantation and the development of late in-stent neointimal proliferation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between January 1996 and May 1997, 50 patients underwent intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) interrogation at 6+/-1.2 months after coronary stent implantation in native coronary arteries. IVUS images were acquired with a motorized pullback, and cross-sectional measurements were performed within the stents at 1-mm intervals. The following measurements were obtained: (1) lumen area (LA), (2) stent area (SA), (3) area delimited by the external elastic membrane (EEMA), (4) percent neointimal area calculated as (SA-LA/SA)x100, and (5) percent residual plaque area calculated as (EEMA-SA)/EEMAx100. Volume measurements within the stented segments were calculated by applying Simpson's rule. In the pooled data analysis of 876 cross sections, linear regression showed a significant positive correlation between percent residual plaque area and percent neointimal area (r=0.50, y= 45.03+0.29x, P<0.01). There was significant incremental increase in mean percent neointimal area for stepwise increase in percent residual plaque area. Mean percent neointimal area was 16.3+/-10.3% for lesions with a percent residual plaque area of <50% and 27.7+/-11% for lesions with a percent residual plaque area of >/=50% (P<0.001). The volumetric analysis showed that the percent residual plaque volume was significantly greater in restenotic lesions compared with nonrestenotic lesions (58.7+/-4.3% versus 51.4+/-5.7%, respectively; P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Late in-stent neointimal proliferation has a direct correlation with the amount of residual plaque burden after coronary stent implantation, supporting the hypothesis that plaque removal before stent implantation may reduce restenosis.  (+info)

Comparison of quantitative coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and coronary pressure measurement to assess optimum stent deployment. (3/7427)

BACKGROUND: Although intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the present standard for the evaluation of optimum stent deployment, this technique is expensive and not routinely feasible in most catheterization laboratories. Coronary pressure-derived myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFRmyo) is an easy, cheap, and rapidly obtainable index that is specific for the conductance of the epicardial coronary artery. In this study, we investigated the usefulness of coronary pressure measurement to predict optimum and suboptimum stent deployment. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 30 patients, a Wiktor-i stent was implanted at different inflation pressures, starting at 6 atm and increasing step by step to 8, 10, 12, and 14 atm, if necessary. After every step, stent deployment was evaluated by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA), IVUS, and coronary pressure measurement. If any of the 3 techniques did not yield an optimum result, the next inflation was performed, and all 3 investigational modalities were repeated until optimum stent deployment was present by all of them or until the treating physician decided to accept the result. Optimum deployment according to QCA was finally achieved in 24 patients, according to IVUS in 17 patients, and also according to coronary pressure measurement in 17 patients. During the step-up, a total of 81 paired IVUS and coronary pressure measurements were performed, of which 91% yielded concordant results (ie, either an optimum or a suboptimum expansion of the stent by both techniques, P<0.00001). On the contrary, QCA showed a low concordance rate with IVUS and FFRmyo (48% and 46%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, using a coil stent, both IVUS and coronary pressure measurement were of similar value with respect to the assessment of optimum stent deployment. Therefore, coronary pressure measurement can be used as a cheap and rapid alternative to IVUS for that purpose.  (+info)

The endovascular management of blue finger syndrome. (4/7427)

OBJECTIVES: To review our experience of the endovascular management of upper limb embolisation secondary to an ipsilateral proximal arterial lesion. DESIGN: A retrospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Over 3 years, 17 patients presented with blue fingers secondary to an ipsilateral proximal vascular lesion. These have been managed using transluminal angioplasty (14) and arterial stenting (five), combined with embolectomy (two) and anticoagulation (three)/anti-platelet therapy (14). RESULTS: All the patients were treated successfully. There have been no further symptomatic embolic episodes originating from any of the treated lesions, and no surgical amputations. Complications were associated with the use of brachial arteriotomy for vascular access. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular techniques are safe and effective in the management of upper limb embolic phenomena associated with an ipsilateral proximal focal vascular lesion.  (+info)

Balloon-artery interactions during stent placement: a finite element analysis approach to pressure, compliance, and stent design as contributors to vascular injury. (5/7427)

Endovascular stents expand the arterial lumen more than balloon angioplasty and reduce rates of restenosis after coronary angioplasty in selected patients. Understanding the factors involved in vascular injury imposed during stent deployment may allow optimization of stent design and stent-placement protocols so as to limit vascular injury and perhaps reduce restenosis. Addressing the hypothesis that a previously undescribed mechanism of vascular injury during stent deployment is balloon-artery interaction, we have used finite element analysis to model how balloon-artery contact stress and area depend on stent-strut geometry, balloon compliance, and inflation pressure. We also examined superficial injury during deployment of stents of varied design in vivo and in a phantom model ex vivo to show that balloon-induced damage can be modulated by altering stent design. Our results show that higher inflation pressures, wider stent-strut openings, and more compliant balloon materials cause markedly larger surface-contact areas and contact stresses between stent struts. Appreciating that the contact stress and contact area are functions of placement pressure, stent geometry, and balloon compliance may help direct development of novel stent designs and stent-deployment protocols so as to minimize vascular injury during stenting and perhaps to optimize long-term outcomes.  (+info)

Surgical transluminal iliac angioplasty with selective stenting: long-term results assessed by means of duplex scanning. (6/7427)

PURPOSE: The safety of iliac angioplasty and selective stenting performed in the operating room by vascular surgeons was evaluated, and the short- and long-term results were assessed by means of serial duplex scanning. METHODS: Between 1989 and 1996, 281 iliac stenotic or occlusive lesions in 235 consecutive patients with chronic limb ischemia were treated by means of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone (n = 214) or PTA with stent (n = 67, 23.8%). There were 260 primary lesions and 21 restenosis after a first PTA, which were analyzed separately. Stents were implanted in selected cases, either primarily in totally occluded arteries or after suboptimum results of PTA (ie, residual stenosis or a dissection). Data were collected prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. Results were reported in an intention-to-treat basis. Clinical results and patency were evaluated by means of symptom assessment, ankle brachial pressure index, and duplex scanning at discharge and 1, 3, 6, and every 12 months after angioplasty. To identify factors that may affect outcome, 12 clinical and radiological variables, including the four categories of lesions defined by the Standards of Practice Committee of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, were analyzed separately. The statistical significances of life-table analysis of patency were determined by means of the log-rank test. RESULTS: There were no postoperative deaths or amputations. Local, general, and vascular complications occurred in 2.1%, 1.3% and 4.7% of cases, respectively (total, 8.1%). The mean follow-up period was 29.6 months. The cumulative patency rates +/- SE of the 260 PTAs (including 55 PTAs plus stents) were 92.9% +/- 1.5% at 1 month, 86. 5% +/- 1.7% at 1 year, 81.2% +/- 2.3% at 2 years, 78.8% +/- 2.9% at 3 years, and 75.4% +/- 3.5% at 5 and 6 years. The two-year patency rate of 21 redo PTAs (including 11 PTAs plus stents) was 79.1% +/- 18.2%. Of 12 predictable variables studied in the first PTA group, only the category of the lesion was predictive of long-term patency. The two-year patency rate was 84% +/- 3% for 199 category 1 lesions and 69.7% +/- 6.5% for 61 category 2, 3, and 4 lesions together (P =. 02). There was no difference of patency in the stented and nonstented group. CONCLUSION: Iliac PTA alone or with the use of a stent (in cases of occlusion and/or suboptimal results of PTA) offers an excellent long-term patency rate. Categorization of lesions remains useful in predicting long-term outcome.

PURPOSE: To select patients for percutaneous transluminal stenting of chronic postthrombotic pelvic venous obstructions (CPPVO), we evaluated the clinical symptoms in a cohort of candidates and in a series of successfully treated patients. METHODS: The symptoms of 42 patients (39 women) with CPPVO (38 left iliac; average history, 18 years) were recorded, and the venous anatomy was studied by means of duplex scanning, subtraction venography, and computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Successfully stented patients were controlled by means of duplex scanning and assessment of symptoms. RESULTS: The typical symptoms of CPPVO were reported spontaneously by 24% of patients and uncovered by means of a targeted interview in an additional 47%. Of 42 patients, 15 had venous claudication, four had neurogenic claudication (caused by dilated veins in the spinal canal that arise from the collateral circulation), and 11 had both symptoms. Twelve patients had no specific symptoms. Placement of a stent was found to be technically feasible in 25 patients (60%), was attempted in 14 patients, and was primarily successful in 12 patients. One stent occluded within the first week. All other stents were fully patent after a mean of 15 months (range, 1 to 43 months). Satisfaction was high in the patients who had the typical symptoms, but low in those who lacked them. CONCLUSION: Venous claudication and neurogenic claudication caused by venous collaterals in the spinal canal are typical clinical features of CPPVO. We recommend searching for these symptoms, because recanalization by means of stenting is often feasible and rewarding.  (+info)

Endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm: a tip for systemic pressure reduction. (8/7427)

A proposed technique for systemic pressure reduction during deployment of a stent graft was studied. A 67-year-old man, who had a descending thoracic aneurysm, was successfully treated with an endovascular procedure. An occluding balloon was introduced into the inferior vena cava (IVC) through the femoral vein. The balloon volume was manipulated with carbon dioxide gas to reduce the venous return, resulting in a transient and well-controlled hypotension. This IVC-occluding technique for systemic pressure reduction may be safe and convenient to minimize distal migration of stent grafts.  (+info)

Use of Distal Protection Device for Percutaneous Intervention in Native Coronary ArteriesUse of Distal Protection Device for Percutaneous Intervention in Native Coronary Arteries
From Cardiology Team, Department of Medicine, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, Hong Kong. LAM and LI: Use of Distal Protection Device for Percutaneous Intervention in Native Coronary Arteries. Microembolization of particulate debris during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will lead to various degree of microvascular obstruction, terminating in no-reflow phenomenon observed angiographically. Different methods, including angiography, non-invasive imaging, and assays of myocardial injury markers, have been used for detection of occurrence of microvascular obstruction. The prevalence of, and the adverse prognosis associated with microvascular obstruction have led to the concept and application of distal protection for coronary interventions. While its value has been confirmed in saphenous vein grafts intervention, data is now growing to support use of distal protection devices in native coronaries. Findings from a local registry that reveals the initial experience on use of ...

Self-Expandable Metallic Stents in Nonmalignant Large Airway DiseaseSelf-Expandable Metallic Stents in Nonmalignant Large Airway Disease
Airway self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) were initially studied in malignant airway obstruction; however, their use in benign airway diseases has become progressively more frequent. This may be explained by their ease of insertion compared with silicone stents, which require rigid bronchoscopy for insertion. While initial experience with SEMS in benign disease suggested efficacy and promising short-term safety profile, long-term follow-up revealed significant complication rates. In addition to a high complication rate, the management of these complications is made more difficult by the semipermanent nature of these devices. Reported complications include infection, granulation tissue formation, stent migration, stent fracture, airway perforation and fistula formation, as well as extension of the initial injury, potentially eliminating other therapeutic options such as surgical resection. Therefore, SEMS should only be used in nonmalignant large airway disease as a last resort for patients in whom

The FAIR trials objective was to assess safety and efficacy of angioplasty with drug-eluting balloon vs. standard angioplasty for the treatment of symptomatic superficial femoral artery in-stent restenosis. The primary endpoint was binary (≥50%) restenosis rate at six months as assessed by duplex ultrasound corelab adjudication (PSVR≥2.4). The secondary endpoints were primary angiographic success (,50% residual stenosis), six-month recurrent in-stent restenosis (≥70%) and 12-month recurrent in-stent restenosis (≥50%), six- and 12-month clinically-driven target lesion revascularisation, and clinical/haemodynamic assessment (walking distance, ankle brachial index, Rutherford category) at one, six and 12 months. The investigators also assessed the major adverse vascular events (MAVE) at 12 months.. Patients who had Rutherford class 2-4 lesions and superficial femoral artery in-stent restenosis between 70-100% as assessed by duplex ultrasound were included. Further, to be included, patients ...

Accelerated in vitro model for occlusion of biliary stents: investigating the role played by dietary fibre | BMJ InnovationsAccelerated in vitro model for occlusion of biliary stents: investigating the role played by dietary fibre | BMJ Innovations
Stents are used in the treatment of numerous biliary tract diseases, ranging from benign biliary diseases to malignant strictures. Two types of biliary stents find extensive use: plastic Amsterdam-type stents and self-expanding metallic stents. The more commonly used Amsterdam-type plastic stents are tubular structures with diameters ranging from 7 to 12 Fr. Further increase in the diameter of plastic stents is precluded by the working channel diameter of side-viewing endoscopes. The major limitation of these plastic stents is their limited patency (with an average time of failure of 82.7±5 days). The primary reason for failure is complete obstruction of bile flow due to occlusion by biofilm and biliary sludge.1 The obstruction rate was found to be 27% in the first 30 days of plastic stent deployment.2 The risk of occlusion increases progressively after 3 months with a median patency of 4-5 months.3 Nevertheless, plastic stents are widely used because of their low cost and their ease of removal ...

Treatment of colonic obstruction with expandable metal stents: Radiologic featuresTreatment of colonic obstruction with expandable metal stents: Radiologic features
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of expandable metal stents for colonic decompression in patients presenting with acute malignant obstruction and to describe the associated radiographic findings. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Using both fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance, we placed expandable metal stents within the colons of 13 patients presenting with acute malignant obstruction. Stents were placed in four patients to permit a standard bowel cleansing before surgical resection with primary anastomosis. In the other nine patients, stents were placed for palliation of nonresectable tumors, obviating colostomy. Outcomes and complications were analyzed. The radiologic aspects of procedural planning, stent placement, assessment after placement, and detection of complications were evaluated. RESULTS. Of the four surgical candidates who were successfully resected with primary anastomosis, two received incomplete bowel cleansing because of stent migration with ...

Since the drug eluting stents have provided better results concerning restenosis and repeat revascularization comparing to bare metal stents, percutaneous coronary interventions are performing increasingly in more complex stenoses. However, drug eluting stents did not show any advantage on prevention of myocardial infarction and survival. Currently there is no any completed controlled randomized study showing the superiority or equality of drug eluting stents over coronary bypass surgery by means of efficacy and safety. While the long-term results of drug eluting stents still unclear, everyday progressively more patients with multivessel disease are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stent implantation. The aim of this review is to discuss the efficacy and safety of drug eluting stents in patients with multivessel disease..

Call for Standards in Technical Documentation of Intracoronary StentsCall for Standards in Technical Documentation of Intracoronary Stents
At present, the product information of intracoronary stents provided by the industry contains only limited technical data restricting judgments on the in vivo performance of individual products. Available experimental and clinical evidence suggests that interventional target sites display highly heterogeneous biomechanical behavior needed to be matched by specific stent and stent delivery system characteristics. To allow individualized stent-lesion matching, both, understanding of biomechanical properties of the atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions and expert knowledge of the intracoronary stent systems, are required. Here, the authors review some of the initial data on mechanical properties of coronary artery lesions potentially relevant to stenting and suggest standards for technical documentation of intracoronary stents.. ...

A trend which will definitely change the market is the emergence of bio-absorbable stents. Since 1995, the introduction of new products such as bio-absorbable scaffolds, biodegradable polymers, and bifurcation stents is likely to increase the use of vascular stents in interventional cardiology. These stents have the potential to eliminate the complications of durable polymer stents. This will induce a significant positive shift in the treatment of artery stenosis and encourage affected individuals to undergo vascular stenting. Bio-absorbable stents restore blood flow by opening the clogged blood vessel and provide support until the damaged blood vessel heals. Unlike metallic stents, the body gradually metabolizes the bio-absorbable stent and entirely absorbs them over time..

Cerebral embolization during carotid artery stenting (CAS) can often precipitate severe adverse neurological effects. Most major clinical studies of CAS have used distal filters for cerebral protection and have compared the neurologic complication rates with those of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Many currently available embolic protection devices, however, have limited efficacy in capturing microembolic debris that is liberated during stenting, pre-dilatation and post-dilatation. Distal protection systems are furthermore limited by the need to cross the lesion prior to deployment.

Extreme Caution Is Needed When Treating In-Stent Restenosis With Mechanical Devices | Vascular Disease ManagementExtreme Caution Is Needed When Treating In-Stent Restenosis With Mechanical Devices | Vascular Disease Management
Hello and welcome to the December issue of Vascular Disease Management. I have chosen to comment on Deepika Kalisetta and colleagues case report on Balloon Assisted Dislodgement of a Trapped Directional Atherectomy Catheter (the Ocelot device) During Treatment of In-Stent Restenosis (ISR).. Stenting of femoropopliteal arterial obstructive lesions has been demonstrated to result in higher primary patency than standard balloon angioplasty. Stenting is also routinely utilized to treat flow-limiting dissections following PTA and atherectomy. Therefore, stenting is commonly utilized in treating symptomatic femoral and popliteal arterial obstructions. Unfortunately, restenosis and reocclusion are common following stenting. Whereas stent grafts tend to develop recurrent stenosis only at the edge of the stents, standard nitinol self-expanding stents often develop diffuse in-stent restenosis secondary to neointimal hyperplasia and reocclusion when there is superimposed thrombus. Stent restenosis can ...

Optimal Coronary Balloon Angioplasty With Provisional Stenting vs. Stent Trial - American College of CardiologyOptimal Coronary Balloon Angioplasty With Provisional Stenting vs. Stent Trial - American College of Cardiology
Unlike the BENESTENT I and STRESS trials, which showed a 30% reduction in late restenosis with the use of stents, angiographic restenosis in OCBAS was similar between PTCA and stented patients, as was length of hospital stay, TVR and freedom from major cardiac events. Despite the lack of benefit observed, overall costs were significantly higher in the stent than in the optimal PTCA with provisional stenting group. Despite a small sample size, the OCBAS trial suggests immediate use of coronary stents following optimal PTCA may not be warranted, but rather a delayed, conservative approach may result in similar outcomes. Given the conflicting results with trials such as DEBATE II, which showed higher costs with provisional stenting, further trials are needed before a definitive conclusion can be drawn. Finally, waiting 30 minutes to examine the early loss may not be feasible in clinical practice, and the trial was initiated before the availability of later generations of stents and does not include ...

Stents - Cardiovascular Medicine | NE FloridaStents - Cardiovascular Medicine | NE Florida
Approximately 70 percent of angioplasty procedures also involve stenting, which is the insertion of a small metal cylinder called a stent into a blood vessel. In this procedure, a collapsed stent is placed over the balloon at the tip of the catheter. When the balloon inflates, the stent pops open and reinforces the artery walls. The balloon and catheter are then withdrawn and the stent remains permanently. In a few weeks, tissue from the artery lining grows over the stent.. There are two types of stents. Bare-metal stents are plain, untreated metal cylinders. Drug-eluting stents (also called drug-coated stents) are coated with medication before they are placed in the artery. This medication helps prevent scarring and lowers the risk for restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery). Drug-eluting stents may present a higher risk for blood clot formation than bare-metal stents. ...

The data show that VEGF-2 plasmid was effectively delivered to the vessel wall, where transcript and protein were detected for up to 10 days after stent implantation. Local VEGF-2 gene, delivered by PC-coated stents, not only improved early reendothelialization at the stented site but also reduced neointimal proliferation as assessed by IVUS at 3 months of follow-up. IVUS and histomorphometric assessment revealed significant differences in neointimal formation in hypercholesterolemic animals after implantation of VEGF stents compared with PC control stents. Moreover, and in contrast to all other currently marketed drug-eluting stents, VEGF-2-eluting stents result in acceleration of anatomic and functional endothelial recovery. These data, therefore, represent the first demonstration of an antirestenosis ...

Hemodynamics in coronary arteries with overlapping stents. | The Interface GroupHemodynamics in coronary arteries with overlapping stents. | The Interface Group
Coronary artery stenosis is commonly treated by stent placement via percutaneous intervention, at times requiring multiple stents that may overlap. Stent overlap is associated with increased risk of adverse clinical outcome. While changes in local blood flow are suspected to play a role therein, hemodynamics in arteries with overlapping stents remain poorly understood. In this study we analyzed six cases of partially overlapping stents, placed ex vivo in porcine left coronary arteries and compared them to five cases with two non-overlapping stents. The stented vessel geometries were obtained by micro-computed tomography of corrosion casts. Flow and shear stress distribution were calculated using computational fluid dynamics. We observed a significant increase in the relative area exposed to low wall shear stress ( ...

Cardiovascular disease is the dominant cause of mortality in developed countries, with coronary artery disease (CAD) a predominant contributor. The development of stents to treat CAD was a significant innovation, facilitating effective percutaneous coronary revascularization. Coronary stents have evolved from bare metal compositions, to incorporate advances in pharmacological therapy in what are now known as drug eluting stents (DES). Deployment of a stent overcomes some limitations of balloon angioplasty alone, but provides an acute stimulus for thrombus formation and promotes neointimal hyperplasia. First generation DES effectively reduced in-stent restenosis, but profoundly delay healing and are susceptible to late stent thrombosis, leading to significant clinical complications in the long term. This review characterizes the development of coronary stents, detailing the incremental improvements, which aim to attenuate the major clinical complications of thrombosis and restenosis. Despite these

Drug eluting stents (DES) have decreased substantially the neointimal formation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, DES are not free from neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) and stent thrombosis, which are related to the delayed arterial healing following DES implantation. The recently introduced optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables a detailed investigation of vessel healing. The presence of peri-strut low intensity (PLI) has been described as a potential marker of abnormal neointimal healing (1,2). We investigated the late healing characteristics of stents implanted over 3 years, specifically the potential impact of PLI on NIH and restenosis.. OCT imaging (M2, Lightlab Imaging, Westford, Massachusetts) was performed in 99 patients who were treated with bare-metal stents (BMS), sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) (Cypher, Cordis, Bridgewater, New Jersey), or paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) (Taxus, Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) from September 2007 to August 2009.

Multi-objective design optimisation of coronary stents - Computational Modelling GroupMulti-objective design optimisation of coronary stents - Computational Modelling Group
Coronary stents are tubular type scaffolds that are deployed, using an inflatable balloon on a catheter, most commonly to recover the lumen size of narrowed (diseased) arterial segments. Their presence, however, can lead to adverse biological responses - in-stent restenosis, formation of neointima within 12 months of the implant, and thrombosis, formation of a blood clot inside the artery. Currently, an ideal stent - that recovers arterial shape with no adverse response - does not exist, even though, as a multi-billion dollar industry, stent design has witnessed a fairly rapid evolution from bare metal stents of increasing complexity, through shape memory alloy stents, polymer coated, drug eluting stents to biodegradable stents made from polymers or corrodible metals. The adverse responses are likely to be multi-factorial but their causes are not completely understood. However, there are studies implying a correlation between the stent design, which is a common differentiating factor between ...

There are two types of urethral stents temporary and permanent. Most are made up of stainless steel or Nitinol. Absorbable stents made up of Vicryl are also available. Indication : recurrent short bulbar stricture. Patient unfit for surgery or refuse a surgery.. Contra indication: penile urethral stents are painful during erection. Stents inserted into the membranous urethra after core through urethrotomy for pelvic fracture urethral distraction defects also get blocked due to over growth of fibrosis.. The success rate of urethral stents inserted in the bulbar urethra is quoted in region of 80% a stent may migrate distally forming a stricture at the proximal end exposed part of the urethral stent not covered by urothelium may be encrusted with stones. Overgrowth of excessive epithelization may block the lumen and may need repeated resection.

THESIS 8924 The use of stenting in peripheral arteries has been limited by rates of in-stent restenosis and stent fracture considerably higher than seen in coronary arteries. Traditional balloon expandable stainless steel stents were found to be incompatible in femoral and popliteal arteries. The change to more flexible nitinol stents saw an improvement in restenosis rates, but outcomes were still poor compared with coronary stents. The advent of drug eluting stents, which decreased restenosis rates in coronary arteries, has yet to result in significant improvement in peripheral arteries. Artery movement, caused by joint flexion, has long been thought of as a major contributory factor of the high restenosis rates seen in peripheral arteries. However, this hypothesis has not been adequately assessed, and there are other factors which could contribute to the poor performance of peripheral stents. The material properties and geometries of the coronary and peripheral arteries are different, and the ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of a cutting balloon to overcome aorto-ostial lesions before stent implantation and thereby reduce the restenosis rate. DESIGN: Observational follow up study. SETTING: Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS: Eight patients (two female, six male) aged 58.2 (SD 10.1) years with Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grade II-IV angina were recruited. They each had a single target lesion (three in native coronaries, five in vein grafts). INTERVENTION AND RESULTS: After high pressure angioplasty (18 (3.8) bar), there was only a small reduction in the luminal stenosis, from 82 (9)% to 68 (10)%, as assessed by on line quantitative coronary angiography. However, using the cutting balloon there was a marked reduction in the luminal stenosis to 44 (15)%, facilitating stent insertion. Subsequent high pressure dilatation resulted in a final stenosis of 10 (7)%. At 6 (2) months follow up the marked symptomatic improvement, to CCS angina grade 0-II, was maintained and there were ...

Aggressive Post-Dilation of Coronary Stents and Restenosis | JACC: Cardiovascular InterventionsAggressive Post-Dilation of Coronary Stents and Restenosis | JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions
We read with interest the article by Kan et al. (1) that described the incidence of the risk factors for stent fracture and restenosis. They highlight an under-recognized concept: that stent fracture occurs at progressive time-points after stent implantation, raising the question about how much is driven by procedural technique versus patient or vessel factors.. Their multivariate analysis identifying predictors of stent failure indicated that most risk factors could not be modified, for example, right coronary artery location, hinge motion at lesion position and long lesion length (requiring long/multiple stents). They suggested that aggressive post-dilation of smaller stents is an operator-dependent procedural risk factor for stent fracture and hence restenosis, a potentially avoidable problem. However, we would caution against discontinuing the well-established practice of high-pressure post-dilation.. We have previously investigated and published on this very issue (2). In our dataset of ...

The Intracranial Stents Market to witness 3X growth - Splash Radio WalesThe Intracranial Stents Market to witness 3X growth - Splash Radio Wales
The intracranial devices market is growing at a significant rate due to the increasing prevalence of intracranial disorders, which may be caused due to various factors such as genetic disorders and accidents. Intracranial devices can be classified into various categories such as craniomaxillofacial implants, intracranial stents, and others. Endovascular treatment is widely used for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms (ruptured or unruptured). An intracranial stent refers to a tubular structure that is placed inside the canal, duct, or blood vessel. It is used to provide relief from obstruction. It allows continuous flow of the fluid. On the basis of design, intracranial stents can be segmented into open-cell and closed-cell. On the basis of type, intracranial stents may be classified into Neuroform, Solitaire, Enterprise, Leo Plus, and Wingspan. Physical features, dimensions, and functional characteristics vary between different types of intracranial stents. Wingspan is widely used for the ...

Aortic stent grafts are most commonly used to reinforce a weak spot in an artery, which is known as an aneurysm. The stent grafts are designed to seal tightly with the patients native artery above and below the aneurysm, and are used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms as well as thoracic aortic aneurysms. Aortic aneurysms, as opposed to aneurysms found elsewhere in the body, are potentially very serious, as a burst aorta results in massive internal bleeding that can be fatal unless treated rapidly by an experienced emergency medical team. Since their introduction in patients in 1991, aortic stent graft devices have gained wide acceptance and availability, with their adoption fueled in great part by advances in stent-graft design and by a variety of devices for various anatomic features. Over time, these devices have gained traction for use in patients with ruptured aneurysms because ...

Drug-eluting stents work as well as bare-metal stents at keeping blocked arteries open, according to a meta-analysis in the April 23 Archives of Internal Medicine. Additionally, drug-eluting stents dont increase the risk of death, and theyre more likely to prevent narrowing of the arteries than bare-metal stents. Researchers analyzed records from 11 clinical trials involving a total of 6,551 patients; approximately two-thirds had been fitted with drug-eluting stents and one-third with bare-metal stents. About a year after the stents were placed, there were no significant differences between groups in the risks of death, stent thrombosis, or heart attack recurrence. However, patients with drug-eluting stents required revascularization nearly half as often as those with bare-metal stents. The results, write the authors, provide strong evidence of the beneficial effects of drug-eluting stents compared with bare-metal stents. ...

Purpose: Comparison of the biocompatibility of self-expanding polyethylene terephthalate (PET) stents with self-expanding metallic stents (Wallstents). Methods: Diameter- and length-matched PET stents and Wallstents were symmetrically implanted in the paired iliac arteries of 13 crossbred domestic swine. Stent deployment was studied angiographically and with intravascular ultrasound immediately after stent implantation. The angiographic stented lumen diameter was measured using quantitative vessel analysis before, immediately after stenting, and at 6-week follow-up. Cross-section histopathology and area morphometry were performed. Results: Immediately poststenting, intravascular ultrasound revealed proximal dislocation of 5 of the 13 PET stents, whereas all metal stents were firmly embedded at the implantation site. At 6-week follow-up, three of the remaining PET stents were totally or subtotally occluded by organized thrombus, whereas all metal stents were patent. Compared with immediately ...

But OCT allows viewing the interior surfaces of the artery and stent in an awake patient. The imaging is done in the cath lab, over the same type of wire as balloons, stents, IVUS, etc. devices are delivered.. The assessment of strut coverage in stents was the goal of the ODESSA Trial (Optical coherence tomography for DES SAfety). Presented last Tuesday by Dr. Giulio Guagliumi of Ospedali Riuniti di Bergamo, Italy, the goal of this trial was to determine whether OCT could accurately measure strut coverage and stent malapposition in long lesions (greater than 20mm) that required overlapping stents. Overlapping stents are associated with an increased incidence of uncovered struts. Although the number of patients (77) and stents (189) was small, the actual number of struts analyzed was 53,047. The stents were further divided in to four groups: sirolimus-eluting (SES) or CYPHER stents, paclitaxel-eluting (PES) or TAXUS stents, zotarolimus-eluting (ZES) or ENDEAVOR stents, and bare-metal stents ...

A 67-year-old man with critical limb ischemia due to left common iliac artery (CIA) occlusion underwent endovascular treatment and stent deployment (Express LD, 8.0 × 37 mm and 8.0 × 17 mm, Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) (Figure 1). The symptoms of ischemia resolved after stent implantation; however, the patient felt pain while at rest in the left leg 3 years later. Angiography indicated a totally occluded left CIA at the stent site. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed that the stent in the left CIA was compressed by a spinal spur (Figure 2). We speculate that the following occurred. The spinal spur gradually compressed the balloon-expandable stent as the patient performed normal daily activities; eventually, it caused the stent to fracture, causing CIA reocclusion. We performed bypass surgery between the femoral arteries to obtain sufficient blood flow to the left leg, and the patients pain was relieved. Stent implantation for stenosis of the iliac arteries is an ...

Update on drug-eluting stents for prevention of restenosis | ScholarBank@NUSUpdate on drug-eluting stents for prevention of restenosis | [email protected]
Despite the success of coronary stent implantations in the last decade, in-stent restenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia remains a problem to overcome. Neointimal hyperplasia is a vascular response to stent injury and mainly consists of proliferation of smooth muscle cells and deposition of extracellular matrix. Recently, local drug delivery has been advocated as a potential strategy to prevent in-stent restenosis. Unprecedented results have been obtained in early clinical studies on sirolimus-eluting and paclitaxel-eluting stents. Trials using various pharmaceutical coatings on different coronary stents are ongoing. More types of drug-eluting stents are expected on the market in the near future. Meanwhile, the evaluation of drug-eluting stents is entering the second phase in which the safety and efficacy in more complex lesion subsets and different clinical presentations are being investigated. Results including cost-benefit analyses are expected to have a tremendous impact on the practice of ...

188 DRUG-ELUTING STENTS CONTAINING IBUPROFEN: A NOVEL STRATEGY TO REDUCE RESTENOSIS AND PREVENT LATE IN-STENT THROMBOSIS | Heart188 DRUG-ELUTING STENTS CONTAINING IBUPROFEN: A NOVEL STRATEGY TO REDUCE RESTENOSIS AND PREVENT LATE IN-STENT THROMBOSIS | Heart
Introduction Drug-eluting stents (DES) have reduced the rates of restenosis to less than 10%; however, increased incidence of late in-stent thrombosis, is now a major clinical problem of using DES for its consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. Interference with the process of re-endothelialization appears to play a major role in this latent complication. Thus, the search for molecular compounds capable of preventing restenosis that also can reduce the risk of late in-stent thrombosis is of utmost importance. Previously, we have shown that certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are capable of inhibiting rat vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, a key element in the process of restenosis post stent deployment. Here, we evaluated whether proliferation and migration of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMCs) is reduced by the NSAID, ibuprofen, whether this correlated with changes in the phenotype of HCASMCs and the potential molecular mechanisms involved. ...

Drug-Eluting Stents To Transform Cardiovascular Medicine | Managed Care magazineDrug-Eluting Stents To Transform Cardiovascular Medicine | Managed Care magazine
Cypher data were so unequivocal that the FDA panel reviewing the data issued a unanimous recommendation for approval in the fall of 2002. In fact, Cypher appeared to be so effective that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services took the unprecedented step of approving payment prior to the official FDA approval and launch that occurred in late April 2003. Cypher had been approved in Europe in early 2002; Taxus was released there earlier this year.. Cardiologists appear to favor the eluting stents over the bare metal stents. This preference will allow the drug-eluting stents to overtake the traditional bare metal version rapidly. In fact, Wall Street analysts predict that by the end of 2003, eluting stents will have 40 percent of the market.. Although promising to reduce the restenosis rate even further, these stents, too, are not without drawbacks. Cypher has a list price of $3,195 per stent (any size or length); several times the cost of the bare metal stents, which have decreased in price ...

Commercially available stents are primarily designed to open strictures in the esophagus through tissue compression. The stents incorporate a woven NiTi wire to produce a stiff and linear tubular shape that conforms to the esophagus. In off-label uses, where the stents are placed in non-esophageal locations the stents must bend, the stents show a high propensity to migrate from their initial location causing unwanted complications.

Carotid endarterectomy is the main treatment for narrowing of the carotid arteries, but sometimes an alternative procedure called carotid artery stent placement may be available.. Its a less invasive procedure than a carotid endarterectomy because theres no need to make a cut in the neck. Instead, a thin flexible tube is guided to the carotid artery through a small cut in the groin. A mesh cylinder (stent) is then placed into the narrowed section of artery to widen it and allow blood to flow through it more easily.. Current guidelines recommend that a carotid endarterectomy should be the first line of treatment for most people. This is because carotid stenting is associated with a higher risk of stroke during the procedure, particularly if its carried out in the first few days after symptoms appear.

Drug-eluting Stents Reduce Collateral Blood Vessel Growth | WanderingsDrug-eluting Stents Reduce Collateral Blood Vessel Growth | Wanderings
no one suspected the results from the new study, said Morton Kern, a professor of medicine at UC Irvine. It is one other potential downside to drug-eluting stents, Kern said. The study likely will focus more attention on the process of collateral blood-vessel formation as well as developing new generations of drug-coated stents that dont hinder that process, he said. When drug-coated stents became popular in 2003, they were heralded as a major breakthrough in treating heart disease. The tiny, expandable mesh-like tubes were shown to be far superior to bare-metal stents in preventing the gradual reblockage of arteries, a troubling but seldom fatal process known as restenosis. Drug-coated stents are covered by medicine that slowly dissolves and that can dramatically reduce the formation of scar tissue that can re-block an artery. About 1 million Americans are implanted with stents each year and an estimated 80 percent of those devices are drug-coated. However, in recent months researchers and ...

Apparatus and methods for stenting are provided comprising a self-expandable stent that is at least partially covered with a biocompatible material configured to prevent dynamic self-expansion of the stent. The biocompatible material is irreversibly expandable by suitable means, for example, a balloon. Thus, the apparatus may be tailored in-vivo to a vessel profile, in a manner similar to a balloon-expandable stent, but maintains the flexibility required for use in tortuous anatomy and in vessels that undergo temporary deformation, in a manner similar to a self-expandable stent. Apparatus is also provided for stenting at a vessel branching, and for localized delivery of therapeutic agents.

Coronary artery bypass grafts in patients with coronary stentsCoronary artery bypass grafts in patients with coronary stents
COMMENTS. Coronary stents have been widely used throughout the world to treat severe coronary injuries. A recent analysis of six North-American hospitals demonstrated the growth in the use of stents at a rate of 6.8% per year, in contrast to coronary artery bypass grafting, which is declining at a rate of 1.9% per year (6). In the group of patients treated for ischemic heart disease, 65.4% were treated with PCIs, of which 83% of cases underwent interventions involving a single vessel. Over the last three years, these numbers have not changed significantly. However, it is comprehensible that, for a growing number of cases in which surgery is indicated, the patients have already been treated using endoprostheses. Surgical group reports concerning these patients include the observation that the tissues which surround stents and even the coronary arterial wall itself present with an inflammatory-type reaction not previously identified in patients without stents. The formation of a granuloma-type ...

Heart - Coronary Artery Stents and Cosmetic Surgery - Aaron Stone MD - Plastic SurgeryHeart - Coronary Artery Stents and Cosmetic Surgery - Aaron Stone MD - Plastic Surgery
Heart (coronary) artery blockage is a local blocking or narrowing in the arteries on the outer surface of the heart by accumulated deposits of plaque, which is mostly bad cholesterol. Every artery in the body is a blood pipeline. These pipelines get blocked with accumulation of bad cholesterol. When a cardiologist suspects blockage or narrowing of any of these heart arteries he/she will perform an angiography (threading a catheter up a thigh artery to the heart to inject a dye that is visible on X-ray) to view the inside of the arteries. When an area of artery narrowing or blockage is identified a catheter with a balloon is inserted along the same path and inflated at the problem area to open it up. This is called angioplasty. Increasingly stents are placed at these angioplasty sites to keep them open in the long term. In some cases multiple stents are sequentially placed in the same artery. If the area cannot be treated in such a fashion open heart surgery is required which involves opening the ...

DESs have dramatically decreased the need for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and repeated PCI. However, late stent thrombosis is a small but important risk with DESs because it is commonly associated with sudden death or acute MI. The clinical occurrence of stent thrombosis after stent implantation can be defined as acute (, 24 h), subacute (1 to 30 d), late (30 d to 1 y), or very late (, 1 y). The clinical diagnosis of stent thrombosis can be defined as definite if proven angiographically or pathologically, probable if an MI occurs in the distribution of the stented artery, or possible if death is unexplained (1). Risk for subacute stent thrombosis is about 1% for both DESs and BMSs, but risk for very late stent thrombosis continues for at least 4 years with DESs at a rate of 2 to 4 events/1000 patients per year (1−3). The presumed cause is delayed or incomplete endothelialization of the stent struts. The unanswered question is whether the decrease in risk for death and MI ...

Coronary stents are the most commonly used treatment in the United States to repair narrowed or weakened arteries. The ability to visualize the stent during the stenting procedure and post-surgery is crucial to correctly place the stent with respect to the vessel stenosis, and to identify its position within the vessel wall. Current imaging modalities suffer from low contrast, resolution and/or unfavorable artifacts that can inhibit correct visualization of the stent in the artery. We demonstrated the effectiveness of a combined intravascular photoacoustic and intravascular ultrasound imaging method for high resolution and sufficient contrast imaging of commercial stents with respect to the vessel wall.. ©2009 Optical Society of America.

In the randomized SES bifurcation study (2), the rate of restenosis in the side branch was 21.8%. Incomplete coverage of the side branch was advocated as a possible cause for the high restenosis rate (2,8). In order to guarantee full coverage of the ostium of the side branch, the crush stent technique was introduced (3). Our preliminary experience with the crush stenting technique did not show a clear improvement in the rate of restenosis at the side branch. At that time FKB was not performed routinely when no residual stenosis was observed at ostium of the side branch. Learning from follow-up results led to more frequent performance of FKB. Since January 2003, kissing inflation became standard procedure. In the present study, the restenosis rate of the side branch in the FKB group was 11.1%. Compared to the SES bifurcation study, a 49% relative reduction in the restenosis rate in the side branch was achieved (2). The significant reduction of late loss in the side branch after FKB can be ...

Instron Industry Update: Mechanical Testing of Stents and Stent Materials - InstronInstron Industry Update: Mechanical Testing of Stents and Stent Materials - Instron
Stents are a wonderful creation of modern medical engineering that aid physicians and surgeons in the treatment of heart disease. Conditions, such as smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol help promote atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaque within arteries, which can ultimately lead to heart attack and stroke.. We have found that more recently smart materials, such as Nitinol (Nickel Titanium Alloy), have been used by stent manufacturers in the production of stents. Nitinol exhibits both shape memory and super-elastic properties, making it perform particularly well when used for self-expanding stents. Nitinol stents are slightly larger than the size of the intended artery, and after deployment they exhibit a chronic radial force to maintain position.. With stringent requirements from regulations, manufacturers must demonstrate that they have considered risks of device failure and satisfactorily mitigated against them. Mechanical testing of stent and stent materials is performed in vitro ...

  • Shortly thereafter, in 1987, Julio Palmaz (known for patenting a balloon-expandable stent ) and Richard Schatz implanted their similar stent into a patient in Germany. (wikipedia.org)
  • Today's findings of infringement against the Taxus, Liberte and Express stents - together with previous findings of infringement by Boston Scientific's NIR stent - reinforces the strength of Cordis' deep patent estate on balloon expandable stents. (news-medical.net)
  • A stent cover is formed of unsintered ePTFE which is expandable. (google.co.uk)
  • The first balloon expandable stents were designed from surgical grade stainless steel, and aimed to provide additional mechanical support, limiting vessel recoil and preventing acute occlusion [ 6 ]. (mdpi.com)
Longitudinal axis2
  • In a second embodiment, flexible section columns are angled with respect to each other, and to the longitudinal axis of the stent. (google.es)
  • In yet another embodiment, the flexible connector can take on an undulating shape (like an "N"), but such that the longitudinal axis of the connector is not parallel with the longitudinal axis of the stent. (google.es)
Endovascular1
  • Covered stents are used in endovascular surgical procedures such as endovascular aneurysm repair . (wikipedia.org)
Oxygenated blood1
  • Stents are often used to alleviate diminished blood flow to organs and extremities beyond an obstruction in order to maintain an adequate delivery of oxygenated blood. (yahoo.com)

  • 4. Use proper technique to ensure that the stent is fully deployed and in contact with the vessel wall. (cmaj.ca)
Blockages7
  • Stents are used to open blockages in a tubule structure. (yahoo.com)
  • Stenting or CABG is determined by the number of blockages, the severity and their location(s). (yahoo.com)
  • If blockages are found and stents are needed, it will normally be done at that time. (yahoo.com)
  • My husband had the same stenting, and it is very rare to develop blockages in this area, but obviously it happens. (medhelp.org)
  • So I suppose in the majority of people, stents won't be harmed by smoking, but 'research' tells us it will cause other blockages elsewhere. (medhelp.org)
  • The stent opens blockages in the blood vessel in order to prevent future strokes. (fda.gov)
  • Whether conventional or biodegradable, stents prop open blood vessels to restore blood flow, providing relief from blockages caused by biological goo - plaque that has collected over years. (newsday.com)
Cardiologists1
  • Stents are beneficial in such cases, most cardiologists agree. (bloomberg.com)
Unnecessary stent procedures1
  • The U.S. Senate Finance Committee releases a report questioning whether stent maker Abbott Laboratories "indirectly encouraged" unnecessary stent procedures. (baltimoresun.com)
