Very late stent thrombosis (VLST), a rare complication of stenting, has been reported to develop more frequently at later than 1 year after the deployment of the drug-eluting stent (DES) compared with the bare-metal stent (BMS). However, the causes for the difference in the incidence remain unknown. Serial angioscopy on 1,591 and 1,952 days after BMS deployment in a Japanese male patient with acute myocardial infarction revealed incomplete neointimal coverage (INC) without the development of cardiovascular event. Therefore, the potential development of VLST remains undeniable in BMS-deployed patients who had INC.

Background: Coronary stenting operations have become the main option for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Vessel recovery after stenting has emerged as a critical factor in reducing possible complications. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of locally administered intraluminal gene therapy delivered using a specialized infusion balloon catheter.

Background: Despite significant reductions in in-stent restenosis (ISR) incidence with the adoption of drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare metal stents (BMS), ISR remains an unresolved issue in the DES era. The risk factors associated with DES-ISR have not been thoroughly analyzed. This meta-analysis aims to identify the key factors and quantify their impact on DES-ISR.

Aim This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) check and revision procedures performed in a freestanding interventional radiology (IR) outpatient facility. Methodology A total of 40 patients (male 31:female 9, median age 60 years old) underwent a TIPS check and/or revision at a freestanding IR outpatient facility between 2009 and 2017. Procedures were performed using a mobile C-arm unit under intravenous (IV) moderate sedation, with the patient discharged home on the same day.

: Contemporary treatments of acute aortic dissection, including medical, surgical, and endovascular options, are remarkably effective at the management of malperfusion and rupture. Unfortunately, long-term studies indicate that 30%-50% of patients need secondary procedures to treat progressive aneurysmal enlargement of the untreated aorta. The Stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair (STABILISE) technique was introduced to improve long-term outcomes.

The growing prevalence of coronary artery diseases in the US corresponds to the increasing use of minimally invasive techniques that require coronary stents. Although extensive research is available on the perioperative outcomes of the 3 stent options - bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-eluting stents (DES), and bioresorbable drug-eluting stents (BVS), a knowledge gap exists in the longitudinal monitoring of patient outcomes due to device-related causes. Therefore, our study examines the device-related patient outcome and the relative performance for BMS, DES, and BVS.
