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.

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...
