The Role of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Native Iranian Yew (Taxus baccata) in Biological Control Fusarium oxysporum

Cilotax stent is a new type of drug-eluting stent (DES) designed to increase the antirestenotic performance of the paclitaxel-eluting stent and decrease the risk of stent thrombosis by the incorporation of cilostazol. Therefore, we investigated the safety and efficacy of Cilotax dual DESs and compared their performance to that of paclitaxel-eluting Taxus Liberte. Patients undergoing percutaneou...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have not addressed vessel response >5 mm distal to the stent edge. Therefore, we investigated the impact of paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) versus bare metal stents (BMS) on distal vessels in the serial intravascular ultrasound substudies of TAXUS IV, V, and VI. METHODS AND RESULTS TAXUS IV, V, and VI were double-blind, randomized, multicenter, controlled trials co...

OBJECTIVES To compare the safety and efficacy of the new Coroflex™ Please stents with conventional Taxus™ Liberte stents in patients with coronary artery lesions. BACKGROUND The Coroflex™ Please stent is a new version of paclitaxel-eluting stent, and observational cohort studies have reported similar angiographic and clinical outcomes as with the first-generation stents. However, it has not b...
