AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Drug-eluting stents are largely used in coronary arteries and more recently in tibial arteries owing to their potentially better outcomes compared with bare metal stents. A patient with polyarteritis nodosa and critical limb ischemia and a dorsal foot ulcer was previously unsuccessfully treated with multiple angioplasties and subsequently underwent implantation of a drug-eluting stent in the pedal artery. At 6 months, stent patency on color Doppler ultrasound and complete healing of the foot ulcer were observed.

Device-related patient outcomes for coronary stents: A MAUDE database analysis.

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.

Abstract: We aim to investigate the optimal timing for surgical interventions to maximize patient benefit.
Background: The guidelines recommending a minimum deferral of six months for non-cardiac surgeries following drug-eluting stent percutaneous coronary intervention (DES-PCI) do not adequately address the requirements for individuals undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery (GCS).
Methods: The study encompassed 2,501 patients treated from January 2017 to December 2021, all of whom underwent GCS within one year after DES-PCI.
Drug-Coated Balloons for the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease: A Review.

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.
Anomalous Left Coronary Artery Originating From the Right Coronary Sinus With a Septal Curse in a Patient With Myocardial Infarction Due to Right Coronary Lesion: Innocent Until Proven Otherwise.

Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are rare and challenging, with increased diagnoses due to advanced cardiovascular imaging, even in low-income countries where diagnostic and therapeutic approaches can be difficult. This case report details a 65-year-old Black male patient with a history of hypertension and smoking who presented with a myocardial infarction. Despite no significant abnormalities apart from the infarction, invasive coronary angiography revealed a dominant right coronary artery (RCA) and an anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from the right coronary sinus, bifurcating into the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery.

Objective: This study compared the clinical efficacy of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of left main coronary artery and/or triple-vessel disease (LM and/or TVD).
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 1484 consecutive patients with LM and/or TVD in Shanxi Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2015 to December 2022 and divided them into the OPCAB group (n = 583) and the PCI group (with second-generation drug-eluting stents) (n = 901). Propensity score matching was used for 316 equally matched pairs of patients in the groups.
