Coronary Stenting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stents are metallic scaffolds that are deployed within a diseased segment of coronary artery to establish and then maintain a widely patent lumen. Just 6 years after the 1994 approval of the balloon-expandable Palmaz-Schatz slotted tube stent in the United States, stents are utilized in upwards of 80% of interventions and have revolutionized catheter-based treatment. Given the rapid evolution in stent design, techniques, and indications, the goal of this chapter is to highlight some of the underlying principles and concepts and to summarize the key trials on which current stent use is based, expecting that many of the nuances of stent design will continue to evolve.

Immediate and Short-term Follow-Up of Aortic Coarctation Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting
Background Aortic Coarcatation (CoA) is one of the congenital heart diseases with the rate of 5-8% of Coronary heart diseases(CHDs). Balloon angioplasty is now one of the effective way of treatment for CoA, native or Re-coarctation (Re-CoA). We aimed to assess the immediate, and short term response to angioplasty and stenting, and also complications. Materials and Methods Balloon angioplasty wi...
متن کاملDirect coronary stenting in reducing radiation and radiocontrast consumption
INTRODUCTION Coronary stenting is the primary means of coronary revascularization. There are two basic techniques of stent implantation: stenting with balloon predilatation of stenosis and stenting without predilatation (direct stenting). Limiting the time that a fluoroscope is activated and by appropriately managing the intensity of the applied radiation, the operator limits radiation in the e...
متن کاملThe initiation of coronary angioplasty and stenting in a single outpatient centre in Barbados.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a novel procedure to Barbadian healthcare. Only one centre in Barbados provides PTCA and stenting. This is a retrospective study aimed at describing the initial results of coronary angioplasty and stenting in the first 48 patients at the Carib-American Heart Centre and exploring the feasibility and safety of coronary angioplasty and stent...
متن کاملRandomized trial on routine vs. provisional T-stenting in the treatment of de novo coronary bifurcation lesions
AIMS We investigated whether routine T-stenting reduces restenosis of the side branch as compared with provisional T-stenting in patients with de novo coronary bifurcation lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS Our randomized study assigned 101 patients with a coronary bifurcation lesion to routine T-stenting with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) in both branches and 101 patients to provisional T-stentin...
متن کاملEvaluation of PTCA versus Stenting and Bare-Metal Stenting versus Drug-Eluting Stenting in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: The risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) for both men and women is increasing in society today. Over the past twenty-five years, the concepts of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting have become dominant modalities in the treatment of CAD. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, PTCA was seen as the best possible alternative to bypass surgery ...
متن کاملCurrent Use of Oral Anticoagulants and Prognostic Analysis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Coronary Stenting
BACKGROUND It is currently believed that triple oral antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should be recommended if there are no contraindications. However, selecting triple therapy for AF patients undergoing PCI is still challenging when bleeding risk is considered. This study aimed to investigate the current use of oral...
