Stents, scaffolds and DCB

Latest Stents, scaffolds and DCB content in interventional cardiology - research, practice, and education

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.

Durable polymer vs. biodegradable polymer DES in patients with ACS undergoing complex PCI: A post hoc analysis of the HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial

30 Aug 2022

The HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial was a randomised, parallel-group multicentre trial with a 2x2 factorial design testing two independent hypotheses, one of which was the non-inferiority of durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DP-DES) to biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) in patients with ACS. In this post-hoc analysis, the authors...

FFR-guided PCI optimization directed by high-definition IVUS versus standard of care - the FFR-REACT trial

24 Aug 2022

The primary objective of the study was to assess whether an IVUS-based stent optimization provided an incremental value in terms of vessel-related adverse event occurrence in patients presenting with low post-PCI FFR (<0.90).

Everolimus-eluting stents or bypass surgery for mutivessel coronary artery disease: 10-year outcomes of multicenter randomized controlled BEST trial

20 Sep 2022

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BEST trial which was presented by Jung-Min Ahn at TCT 2022.

It is a randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial comparing PCI with second-generation everolimus-eluting stents and CABG in patients with non-left main multivessel coronary artery disease. At two-year follow-up PCI was shown...

Polymer-based versus polymer-free stents in high bleeding risk patients: final 2-year results from Onyx ONE

08 Jun 2022

The results of this study show that at 2-year follow-up HBR patients undergoing PCI with a polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stent & 1-month DAPT had similar outcomes in terms of both safety & efficacy to those with a polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent.
