Stent coatings and local drug delivery; state of the art.
The new enemy of percutaneous intervention is in-stent restenosis. He joins the old enemy, restenosis after balloon angioplasty, who, after 21 years of resistance, refuses to capitulate. Unlike restenosis after balloon angioplasty, in-stent restenosis is a consequence almost entirely of tissue hyperplasia, occurring principally around the points where the stent struts impinge upon the artery wa...
متن کاملLocal drug-delivery balloon for proliferative occlusive in-stent restenosis after drug-eluting stent
Drug-coated balloon has been developed as an alternative to drug-eluting stents for in-stent restenosis but the performance of drug infusion balloon in such setting has not been previously described. We present a case of particularly aggressive in-stent restenosis after drug eluting stent implantation treated with a new kind of drug infusion balloon developed in order to overcome the impossibil...
متن کامل3d Numerical Simulations of Stent-based Local Drug Delivery Using Realistic Stent and Vascular Wall Structures
The efficiency of local delivery using a polymer coated stent depends on the homogeneity of the distribution of the molecule in the vascular wall. The distribution should be as uniform as possible radially and longitudinally with minimal loss in the blood stream. Previous numerical models have investigated the problem with simplified 2D stent geometries and have assumed a normal vascular struct...
متن کاملLocal Drug Delivery
Periodontal diseases are considered infection of the periodontium, because there is bacterial etiology, an immune response, and tissue destruction. Putative pathogens associated with periodontal diseases are susceptible to a variety of antiseptics and antibiotics. Methods employed to convey antimicrobial agents into periodontal pockets have included rinsing, irrigation, systemic administration,...
متن کاملLocal drug delivery in periodontology
Periodontitis describes a group of related inflammatory disease resulting in destruction of the tissues that support the tooth. It results from extension of the inflammatory process initiated in the gingiva to the supporting periodontal tissues. Clinical features of periodontitis include bleeding, pus discharge, halitosis, tooth mobility, functional impairment and ultimately tooth loss. Scaling...
