Retained drug-eluting stents and recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis. The off-label use of steroid-eluting stents has increasingly gained popularity in functional endoscopic sinus surgery for decreasing postoperative inflammation and synechiae formation. However, there is a paucity of data outlining the safety profile of this device despite its widespread use. This study was designed to report a newly described complication of retained drug-eluting stents from endoscopic sinus surgery for refractory rhinosinusitis. This report highlights a potential risk of the drug-eluting stent in the treatment of recalcitrant rhinosinusitis and the need for further clinical investigations whenever a novel medical device becomes available on the market.

متن کاملDrug-Eluting Nasal Implants: Formulation, Characterization, Clinical Applications and Challenges
Chronic inflammation and infection of the nasal sinuses, also referred to as Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS), severely affects patients' quality of life. Adhesions, ostial stenosis, infection and inflammation relapses complicate chronic sinusitis treatment strategies. Drug-eluting stents, packings or implants have been suggested as reasonable alternatives for addressing these concerns. This articl...
متن کاملZotarolimus-eluting stent fracture at initial implantation diagnosed with StentBoost
Stent fracture is a rare complication of drug-eluting stent implantation with a reported rate of 0.84%-3.2% in various clinical studies with first-generation drug-eluting stents and 29% in autopsy studies. Sirolimus-eluting stents with their closed cell design were reported to be more prone to fracture compared to paclitaxel-eluting stents. Other risk factors for stent fracture are multiple ste...
متن کاملCoronary aneurysm after drug-eluting stent implantation.
The use of drug-eluting stents aiming at by-pass the disadvantage of stainless steel stents have been associated to late thrombosis after withdrawal of anti-platelet agents. We report a case with another complication, the development of a coronary aneurysm in the stent area more than three years after index procedure. Late chronic local inflammatory responses may be responsible for the weakenin...
