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.

How should I treat underexpanded coronary stents due to severe coronary calcification?

11 Feb 2021

An 81-year-old male underwent PCI of an extensively calcified LAD coronary artery. Lesion preparation was done using cutting and scoring balloons, followed by drug-eluting stent implantation. Despite serial dilations, including the use of a very High-Pressure NC balloon, stent expansion could not be achieved...
