Few data are available on the effectiveness of sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for the treatment of in-stent restenosis, and no data exist about the predictors of outcome after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for complex in-stent restenosis (diffuse, proliferative, or total occlusion). From April 2002 to May 2004, 136 patients with 161 complex in-stent restenoses underwent sirolimus-eluting stent implantation. At 9 months, 5 patients had died (3 of cardiac and 2 of noncardiac causes), no reinfarctions had occurred, and 11 target vessel revascularization procedures had been performed. The target vessel revascularization rate was 8%, and the in-segment binary restenosis rate was 17%. The predictors of the risk of recurrence were unstable angina as the clinical presentation of in-stent restenosis, an ostial location of the target lesion, lesion length, and sirolimus-eluting stent diameter < or =2.5 mm.

Background: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. AVF stenosis is a common complication, often requiring balloon angioplasty. For recurrent stenosis, AVF stenting may be an option.

Background: First-generation bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) increased risks of stent thrombosis and adverse events. The Bioheart scaffold is a new poly-L-lactic acid-based BRS.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the BRS in patients with coronary artery disease.

Introduction And Objectives: Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in vessels with moderate-to-severe tortuosity are at higher risk of adverse outcomes, but data are scarce in the era of newer-generation stents. We compared outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention in vessels with moderate-to-severe tortuosity using a bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) vs a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent.

Methods: A total of 2350 patients from the BIOFLOW II, IV, and V randomized trials were stratified into 2 groups based on target-vessel tortuosity: none-to-mild and moderate-to-severe.

Limited evidence exists regarding the long-term outcomes of true versus nontrue coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) treated with current-generation drug-eluting stents and intravascular imaging guidance. The Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic (SCVC) registry was a prospective, single-center, all-comers registry enrolling 1,727 consecutive patients treated with bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent under complete imaging guidance. From this registry, 440 patients with CBLs (25.

Background: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of BioMime sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) system, with an ultra-low strut thickness (65 µm), in real-world all-comers population with coronary artery stenosis (CAD).

Methods: This was a post-marketing, multicenter, single-arm, observational clinical registry among patients undergoing intervention for CAD. Patients were clinically followed up at 1, 9, 12, and 24 months after the index percutaneous coronary intervention.
