Intravascular Ultrasound Comparison of Small Coronary Lesions Between Novel Guidewire-Based Sirolimus-Eluting Stents and Conventional Sirolimus-Eluting Stents

Abstract: To address safety concerns with first-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs), the everolimus-eluting stent (EES) has been developed as a second-generation DES. The study aim was to: (1) demonstrate that use of the EES in Japanese...

Comparison of Nonuniform Strut Distribution between Two Drug-Eluting Stent Platforms

Yoshihisa Shimada , MD, PhD;

Recent studies have shown that late incomplete stent apposition (LISA) develops following implantation of conventional bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-eluting stents (DES) or adjunctive intracoronary radiation (IR).1–6 While the clinical...

Comparison of Vessel Response following Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation as Assessed by Serial 3-D Intravascular Ultrasound

Drug-eluting stents have substantially reduced the restenosis rate.1–4 However, restenosis after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is resistant to repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and remains an important clinical...

Drug-eluting stents have...
