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.

One-year results from the FUTURE-II trial

18 May 2021

A decade already passed from the first use of bioresorbable vascular scaffold in percutaneous coronary interventions. The first studies - by using surrogate endpoints - showed some superiority of BRS vs. metallic drug-eluting stent in terms of the so-called vascular restoration therapy with recovery of vasomotion...

Novel Supreme DES with early synchronized antiproliferative drug delivery to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation after DES implantation in coronary artery disease: results of the PIONEER III randomized clinical trial

06 May 2021

The PIONEER III trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of the biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting Supreme stent compared to durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Xience or Promus), completely releasing the drug by 120 days.
