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.

Editorial: Focus on Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB) in clinical practice

19 Dec 2024

DCBs have undergone extensive development to meet the challenges of minimizing restenosis and maintaining vessel patency. Unlike stents, DCBs deliver an antiproliferative drug directly to the arterial wall without leaving a permanent implant. This approach has proven effective in treating small-vessel disease, in-stent restenosis, and de...

A randomised trial of sirolimus- versus paclitaxel-coated balloons for de novo coronary lesions

05 Dec 2024

The present study compares a novel sirolimus-coated balloon with a clinically proven paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions, demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of angiographic late lumen loss at 6 months.
