BACKGROUND Implantation of drug eluting stents (DES) has become a standard treatment of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Incomplete strut coverage is a potential risk factor for late stent thrombosis. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables in vivo identification of incomplete neointimal coverage. METHODS Study included 62 patients after sirolimus eluting stent...
OBJECTIVE #ENTITYSTARTX02014; This study is to explore the effect of valsartan-eluting stents on neointima formation after stenting and to elucidate possible mechanisms how locally used valsartan prevents in-stent restenosis (ISR). METHOD valsartan- and carriereluting stents were manufactured by using multi-layer-coated technology. Bare stents, carrier-eluting stents and valsartan- eluting st...
BACKGROUND Clinical trials show that larger immediate postdeployment stent diameters provide greater ultimate luminal size, whereas animal data show that arterial injury and stent design determine late neointimal thickening. At deployment, a stent stretches a vessel, imposing a cross-sectional polygonal luminal shape that depends on the stent design, with each strut serving as a vertex. We aske...
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing use of stents, few reports have described human coronary artery morphology early and late after stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS Histology was performed on 55 stents in 35 coronary vessels (32 native arteries and 3 vein grafts) from 32 patients. The mean duration of stent placement was 39+/-82 days. Fibrin, platelets, and neutrophils were associated with stent s...
AIMS There is increased late loss in luminal diameter following long-term coronary stenting, compared with balloon angioplasty. We evaluated short- and long-term vessel wall injury after experimental implantation of two stent designs as well as balloon angioplasty and their relationship to neointimal hyperplasia. METHODS AND RESULTS Wiktor stents and Palmaz-Schatz stents were implanted in nor...
BACKGROUND Human pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and, in its more severe form, by the development of occlusive neointimal lesions. However, few animal models of pulmonary neointimal proliferation exist, thereby limiting a complete understanding of the pathobiology of PAH. Recent studies of the endothelin (ET) system demonstrate t...
The aim of the present study was to analyse the long-term histology and immunohistochemistry of the plaque composition and cellular infiltration of SVGs (saphenous vein grafts) containing metallic stents. Percutaneous interventions in SVGs have a worse long-term clinical outcome compared with stenting of coronary arteries. Whether the pathological features of old degenerated SVGs condition the ...
OBJECTVES We investigated whether tacrolimus (FK506) can inhibit neointimal formation in arterialised vein grafts in rats. METHODS Lewis iliolumbar veins were implanted into the abdominal aorta of isogeneic rats. Animals in the treatment groups had daily intramuscular injections of tacrolimus at 0.2 mg/kg (group B) and 0.1 mg/kg (Group C), respectively. The control group A had no treatment. L...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the effects of systemic prednisone in combination with a bare-metal stent (BMS) or a paclitaxel-eluting stent (Taxus, Boston Scientific Corp., Natick, Massachusetts) on neointimal inhibition and vessel healing in an atherosclerotic rabbit model. BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a critical role in neointimal formation after coronary artery stenting....
