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.

Effect of wire jailing at side branch in 1-stent strategy for coronary bifurcation lesions

06 May 2022

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of jailing a wire in the side branch of a bifurcation lesion to prevent side branch compromise during provisional main vessel stenting when a one-stent in bifurcation PCI technique is adopted.
