Drug-eluting stents.

Published: May 2004

Advances in catheter and stent design have made stent implantation the standard coronary angioplasty procedure. Unfortunately, in-stent restenosis continues to plague this procedure, with the optimum binary restenosis rates reaching ~10% to 20%. In the past few years, it has become clear that in-stent restenosis is largely due to the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells to form a neointima. To address this issue, stents coated with drug-delivery vehicles have been developed to deliver antiproliferative therapeutics. Two drugs, rapamycin and taxol, have been the lead compounds for testing the idea of a drug-eluting stent. These drugs have been successful largely because of the solid mechanistic understanding of their effects and extensive preclinical examination. The result of these years of work is that the rapamycin-coated stent entered the US market in April of 2003, and the taxol-coated stent appears poised to follow soon.

In-stent restenosis represents a major cause of failure of percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent implantation. Computational multiscale models have recently emerged as powerful tools for investigating the mechanobiological mechanisms underlying vascular adaptation processes during in-stent restenosis. However, to date, the interplay between intervention-induced inflammation, drug delivery and drug retention has been under-investigated.

Background: Left main coronary bifurcation lesions account for 50% of left main coronary artery disease cases. Although a drug-coated balloon (DCB) has the advantages of immediate release of the drug to the arterial wall and no remaining struts, there is no conclusive evidence to support DCB use.

Methods & Results: We conducted a systematic review in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a potential severe complication that occurs in patients with severe carotid artery narrowing after carotid angioplasty and stent placement. However, this phenomenon has not been fully studied in the context of interventional treatment for chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO).

Purpose: To quantify the ISR rate and identify the risk factors leading to this event.

Importance: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has emerged as an alternative to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) as well as de novo coronary artery disease.

Observations: DCBs are balloons coated with antiproliferative agents and excipients, whose aim is to foster favorable vessel healing after appropriate lesion preparation. By providing homogeneous antiproliferative drug delivery in the absence of permanent foreign body implantation, DCBs offer multiple advantages over DES, including preservation of vessel anatomy and function and positive vessel remodeling.

RotarexS rotational atherectomy combined with drug-coated balloon angioplasty for treating femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis.

J Cardiothorac Surg

December 2024

Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 45, Changchun Street, Beijing, 100053, China.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the safety and mid-term outcomes of a hybrid treatment method combining rotational atherectomy (RA) with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in patients with femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis (ISR).

Methods: This single-center retrospective study enrolled patients from January 2018 to March 2022 who had femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis treated by RA and DCB. Preoperative demographics, operative details, and postoperative 12-month follow-up outcomes were analyzed statistically.
