Long-term (>3 Years) outcome and predictors of clinical events after insertion of sirolimus-eluting stent in one or more native coronary arteries (from the Israeli arm of the e-Cypher registry).

The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term (3.4 years) outcomes and predictors of clinical events in patients treated with sirolimus-eluting stents in the Israeli arm of the e-Cypher registry. From July 2002 to October 2003, 488 patients from 8 medical centers in Israel were enrolled in the e-Cypher registry.

The Titanium-NO Stent:results of a multicenter registry.

Background: Contemporary stents discharge nickel, chromium and molybdenum which might contribute to restenosis. The Titan stent is coated with titanium nitride-oxide that prevents completely discharge of metal elements.

Aims: To assess short and long term outcome of the Titan in a multi-centre registry.

Short- and long-term outcomes of the titanium-NO stent registry.

Background: Five to 15% of the population have allergy to nickel, chromium, or molybdenum, which is a potential cause for in-stent restenosis. The Titan stent is made of stainless steel and is coated with titanium-nitride oxide (TiNOX), which completely prevents the discharge of metal elements. We performed a real-life multicenter registry to assess the short- and long-term characteristics of the Titan stent.
