Abstract OBJECTIVES: We sought to assess the efficacy of vascular brachytherapy (VBT) combined with stenting for the primary prevention of restenosis. BACKGROUND: Intravascular brachytherapy after stent implantation for de novo lesions has been abandoned for the present. We revisited this procedur
Long-length stenting has a poor outcome when bare metal stents are used. The safety and efficacy of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in long lesions has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and angiographic outcomes of SES implantation over a very
BACKGROUND: The factors associated with the occurrence of restenosis after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation in complex cases are currently unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort of consecutive complex patients treated with SES implantation was selected according to the following criteria:
Intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) is often used in studies evaluating new interventional techniques. It is important that quantitative measurements performed with various ICUS imaging equipment and materials are comparable. During evaluation of quantitative coronary ultrasound (QCU) software, it appea
AIMS: The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) on neointimal growth and vessel remodelling for in-stent restenosis versus de novo coronary artery lesions using serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). METHODS AND RESULTS: The study population consisted of 86
AIMS: To investigate the effect on risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) of lipid lowering treatment with fluvastatin 80 mg/day after a first percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with stable and unstable angina. METHOD AND RESULTS: This prespecified subgroup analysis of the LIPS (Les
