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.

One-year outcomes of blinded physiological assessment of residual ischemia after successful PCI - DEFINE PCI trial

10 Feb 2022

The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the impact of residual ischemia detected by post-PCI iFR on clinical outcomes and on residual-angina at the 12-month follow-up of the DEFINE PCI study.

EROSION III: A Randomized Trial of OCT-Guided Intervention in STEMI Patients With Early Infarct Artery Patency

04 Nov 2021

Elad Asher reviews the EROSION III trial, presented by Haibo Jia, which studied whether OCT guidance compared with angiographic guidance only is associated with lower stent rate implantation during pPCI in STEMI patients with non-obstructive stenosis.
