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.

These clinical images and videos depict the case of a patient undergoing TAVR, during which attempts to deploy a 29 mm Evolut-Pro valve at a depth of 5 mm below the annulus resulted in migration to the aorta.

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.
