In this study we randomly compared the estradiol eluting stent (17-beta-E) with phosphorylcholine (PC)-coated stents in native coronary arteries. The incidence of angiographic restenosis was 23% in the 17-beta-E group and 31% in the PC group (p = 0.34). The major adverse cardiovascular event rates were also similar in the 2 groups (17% in the 17-beta-E group vs 22% in the PC group, p = 0.47). The mid-term clinical and angiographic outcomes did not indicate superiority of the 17-beta-E eluting stent over the control PC stent.

Background: Biodegradable polymer stents may reduce the risk of neoatherosclerosis and stent thrombosis. Limited data is available for biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) and durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DP-EES) in chronic total occlusions (CTO).
Aim: This study was to evaluate healing patterns of BP-SES versus DP-EES in CTO at 3 and 13 months based on optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, and the most common form is coronary artery disease (CAD). Treatment options include coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) or percutaneous heart intervention (PCI), but both have drawbacks. Bare metal stents (BMS) are commonly used to treat CAD; however, they lead to restenosis.

Background: Effective management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is crucial for preventing adverse events. Traditional prognostic tools, such as rule-based methods or Cox regression, despite their widespread use and ease, tend to yield moderate predictive accuracy within predetermined timeframes. This study introduces a new contrastive learning-based approach to enhance prediction efficacy over multiple time intervals.

Rationale: The biodegradable polymer BioMatrix Alpha™ stent contains biolimus A9 drug which is sirolimus derivative increase in lipophicity. The biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent is a dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting and CD34+ antobody coated stent capturing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
Hypothesis: The main hypothesis of the SORT OUT XI trial was that the biodegradable polymer biolimus A9 BioMatrix Alpha ™ stent is noninferior to the biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent in an all-comers population with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background: Extensive research has established obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a contributing factor to numerous cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, whether OSA affects in-stent restenosis (ISR) after elective drug-eluting stenting is unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the impact of OSA on ISR in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who underwent successful elective drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
