Serial Assessment of Coronary Artery Healing of a Biodegradable Polymer Drug-Eluting Stent at 1, 2, and 3 Months by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)—The REPAIR Trial
05/01/2023
In this study, the authors assessed the vessel-healing pattern of the sirolimus-eluting Inspiron DES using serial optical coherence tomography, assuming that this thin-strut, biodegradable-polymer DES promotes a faster healing.

Leaving Your Buddy in Jail: A Simplified Approach to the Jailed Buddy Wire Technique
05/01/2023
Stent delivery into tortuous or calcified coronary lesions may cause challenges during PCI. The authors offer an approach of leaving a buddy wire in a jailed position, which allows placement of multiple overlapping stents.
