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.

Do ultrathin stents improve outcomes?

Do newer generation drug-eluting stents with ultrathin struts improve clinical outcomes for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)? Join Ashwin Mehta, Upendra Kaul and Anirban Choudhary in a discussion about the TALENT non-inferiority trial, which compared PCI using the Supraflex sirolimus-eluting stent with ultrathin struts with...

Hope for improved PCI outcomes in diabetic patients with the Abluminus stent

Although huge progress has been made over the last four decades in percutaneous coronary intervention, the results in diabetic patients are still suboptimal, with higher rates of restenosis, target lesion revascularisation, vessel failures and mortality. Luca Testa, Roxana Mehran and Ashok Seth discuss the problems that...

Sirolimus-eluting DCB: update from the Eastbourne study

In this short video, Bernado Cortese (Italy) describes the interim analysis of the Eastbourne study, which is evaluating the performance of a sirolimus-eluting DCB for the treatment of any type of coronary lesion, including native vessel disease and in-stent restenosis. The Eastbourne registry is enrolling patients...

Left main bifurcation stenting: a case-based approach

Are left main bifurcations different from other bifurcations? And is one stent better than two? Find out as Goran Stankovic, David Hildick-Smith and Francesco Burzotta discuss the recommendations of the latest consensus document from the European Bifurcation Club (EBC) dedicated to left main percutaneous coronary intervention...
