Modern ultrathin struts drug eluting stents (DES), due to their constructive characteristics, might be more prone to stent dislodgment than the old thick DES. Our study is aimed to retrospectively analyze and compare the incidence and outcomes of stents dislodgment in thick (TSS) and ultrathin strut stents (USS).We retrospectively analyzed the procedural and medical data of 8,564 consecutive patients (mean age 64.

We evaluate by a computational fluid dynamic(CFD) study the impact on the intravascular fluid rheology on multiple bioabsorbable scaffolds (BRS) by standard overlapping versus edge-to-edge technique.
Methods/materials: We simulated the treatment of a real long significant coronary lesion (>70% luminal narrowing) involving the left anterior descending artery (LAD) treated with a standard or edge-to-edge technique, respectively.
Purpose: The relationships between air pollutant concentration levels and admission for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have never been assessed.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 4 consecutive years of medical and instrumental data (1st January 2012 to 1st March 2016) to identify patients admitted with STEMI and subsequently treated with primary PCI in our third referral center. Daily atmospheric pressure data (in hectopascal [hPa]) and air pollutant concentration levels were obtained from the regional meteorological service which had a monitoring site in our city (Rovigo, Italy).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the combined use of Drug Eluting Stents (DES) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) for treating long diffuse lesions in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) using a new "edge-to-edge" technique.
- A total of 23 patients were treated, with a follow-up of over 11 months, and the results showed no instances of stent thrombosis or major adverse cardiological events (MACE).
- The findings suggest that the edge-to-edge implantation method is a safe and effective option for revascularizing long diffuse LAD disease, with promising short-term outcomes.
