A Three-Dimensional Intravascular Ultrasound Comparison
between the New Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent (ZoMaxx‚Ñ¢) and
the Non-Drug-E

Despite the recent advent of drug-eluting stents (DES), preparation of complex lesions (e.g., ostial, diffuse, fibrocalcified lesions and in-stent restenosis) before stent implantation remains an essential component of percutaneous coronary...

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

In the present study, the authors sought to investigate the role of sevoflurane in reduction of creatine kinase-myocardial band mass release after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.

In the present study, the...

Ioxaglate Versus IoDixanol for the Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy: The IDPC Trial

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.

In this study, the authors...
