In this paper, we look at the case of a 79 years old male who received a Wiktor stent (WS) implantation for myocardial infarction in proximal left anterior descending artery 18 years ago. Eleven years later, an Everolimus eluting stent (EES; Xience V™) was implanted for the proximal edge restenosis of WS from mid left main trunk to the middle part of WS. Seven years after EES implantation, the angiography and optical coherence tomography revealed in-stent restenosis with severe stent recoil just distal to the overlapping zone of WS. In the present case, stent recoil seems to have occurred due to different radial stiffness and flexibility between the two stents.

Introduction: In-stent restenosis remains a significant challenge in coronary artery interventions. This study aims to explore the relationship between exercise intensity and stent design, focusing on the coupled response of the stent structure and hemodynamics at different exercise intensities.
Methods: A coupled balloon-stent-plaque-artery model and a fluid domain model reflecting structural deformation were developed to investigate the interaction between coronary stents and stenotic vessels, as well as their impact on hemodynamics.

Polymeric coronary stents, like the ABSORB™, are commonly used to treat atherosclerosis due to their bioresorbable and cell-compatible polymer structure. However, they face challenges such as high strut thickness, high elastic recoil, and lack of radiopacity. This study aims to address these limitations by modifying degradable stents produced by additive manufacturing with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with degradable metallic coatings, specifically zinc (Zn) and magnesium (Mg), deposited via radiofrequency (rf) magnetron sputtering.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of drug-eluting stents (DES) and interwoven stents (IWS) in treating vein-graft anastomotic stenosis in arteriovenous grafts for hemodialysis patients.
- A total of 51 patients were observed, with DES showing significantly better primary patency rates than IWS at 6, 12, and 24 months, indicating superior performance (p<0.001).
- The findings suggest that DES could be a more effective option for improving hemodialysis access compared to IWS, emphasizing the need for further exploration in this area.
Changes in stent-graft orientation after frozen elephant trunk treatment in aortic arch aneurysm.

Background: Changes in stent graft (SG) orientation after frozen elephant trunk (FET) treatment for aortic arch aneurysms are not well understood. This study investigated changes in SG orientation and their effects on aortic events after FET for aortic arch aneurysms.
Methods: This study included 57 patients with true aneurysms who underwent elective total arch replacement using FET between 2016 and 2023.
Finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics to elucidate the mechanism of distal stent graft-induced new entry after frozen elephant trunk technique.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates distal stent graft-induced new entry (dSINE), a complication of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure, and aims to understand its underlying mechanisms through simulation.
- Using finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics, it examines how different sizes of FET affect stress and blood flow in the aorta.
- Findings indicate that both oversized and undersized FETs can contribute to dSINE through mechanisms like increased circumferential stress and wall shear stress, suggesting that simply choosing a smaller FET size may not prevent this complication.
