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.

PCI optimisation: OCT and physiology in a complex multivessel disease case

18 Dec 2019 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2019

The patient is a 57-year-old male with high-risk factors and previous history of revascularisation. He presents with ischemic chest pain with NSTE-ACS. The baseline angiography shows multivessel disease and calcified LAD/D1 bifurcation (1,1,0).

The key objectives of this case are:

  1. Utility of FFR in physiological assessment of a...

Aspirin-free antiplatelet regimens after PCI: when is it best to stop aspirin and who could ultimately benefit?

18 Oct 2019

Over the past year, an abundance of clinical evidence has emerged addressing the conceptually appealing and theoretically justified concept of dropping aspirin, rather than the P2Y12 antagonist, as part of antiplatelet regimens after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Ticagrelor with or without aspirin in high-risk patients after PCI

07 Oct 2019

The TWILIGHT trial was designed to test the hypothesis that in patients undergoing PCI who are at high risk for ischemic or hemorrhagic complications and who have completed a 3-month course of DAPT with ticagrelor plus aspirin, continued treatment with ticagrelor monotherapy would be superior to ticagrelor...
