Stents, scaffolds and DCB

Find all the latest content on stents and scaffolds published on this website.

Since 1986, when the first cardiovascular stent was implanted, the development of drug-eluting stents (DES) and the recent introduction of bioresorbable scaffolds have revolutionised interventional cardiology. Keep up-to-date with the latest research; evolving tools, devices and techniques; the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy; advances in imaging techniques as well as the use of invasive imaging and functional assessment.

Optical coherence tomography predictors of clinical outcomes after stent implantation: the ILUMIEN IV trial

04 Nov 2024

The aim of this pre-specified analysis of the ILUMIEN IV trial was to assess the relationship between post-PCI OCT parameters of suboptimal stent implantation and clinical outcomes.
