A Review on Biodegradable and Bioabsorbable Stents for Coronary Artery Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the prominent causes of demise in the world. Despite large number of study reports on pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and the development of ischemic heart disease there are numerous questions that are unrequited. About 70% of the risk factors associated with the CAD events are addressed by the classic factors while the other 30% of the CAD events do not elucidate any relationship with the existing classical factors. In addition, it is still not clear why some signs are established while others are susceptible to falling-out and in turn leading to acute coronary syndromes [1,2].

Thrombogenicity and early vascular healing response in metallic biodegradable polymer-based and fully bioabsorbable drug-eluting stents.
BACKGROUND Acute thrombogenicity and re-endothelialization represent clinically relevant end points pertaining to the safety of coronary stents, which have not been compared among biodegradable polymer-based drug-eluting metallic stents and fully bioabsorbable scaffolds to date. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated comparative outcomes with respect to acute thrombogenicity and re-endothelializ...
متن کاملMaterials and Manufacturing Technologies Available for Production of a Pediatric Bioabsorbable Stent
Transcatheter treatment of children with congenital heart disease such as coarctation of the aorta and pulmonary artery stenosis currently involves the use of metal stents. While these provide good short term results, there are long term complications with their use. Children outgrow metal stents, obligating them to future transcatheter dilations and eventual surgical removal. A bioabsorbable s...
متن کاملNext generation drug-eluting stents: focus on bioabsorbable platforms and polymers
The success of drug-eluting stents in preventing restenosis has shifted the focus of new stent development toward enhancing long term safety and efficacy of these devices, while simultaneously eliminating the need for indefinite dual antiplatelet therapy. A technical advance fulfilling these aims would hold tremendous potential to reduce morbidity, mortality and economic costs associated with t...
متن کاملPreclinical Study of a Biodegradable Polymer-based Stent with Abluminal Sirolimus Release
BACKGROUND Bioabsorbable polymer stents with drug elution only on the abluminal surface may be safer than durable polymer drug-eluting stents. OBJECTIVE To report the experimental findings with the Inspiron™ stent - a bioabsorbable polymer-coated stent with sirolimus release from the abluminal surface only, recently approved for clinical use. METHODS 45 stents were implanted in the coronary...
متن کاملContemporary Reviews in Interventional Cardiology Bioabsorbable Coronary Stents
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bioabsorbable stents has created interest because the need for mechanical support for the healing artery is temporary, and beyond the first few months there are potential disadvantages of a permanent metallic prosthesis. Stents improve immediate outcomes, including profoundly reducing acute vessel occlusion after PCI by scaffolding intimal tissue fl...
