A coronary stent is a conventional medical device used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and its mechanical properties have become one of the critical factors to determine the effect of surgical treatment. Based on the existing cobalt-chromium (CO-Cr) alloy L605 coronary stent, this paper established an integrated finite element model of the stent-balloon-compression shell to simulate the stent bundle expansion test and crush resistance test with parallel plates. We verified the accuracy of the analytical model by comparing the simulation results with experimental results. The effects of different parameters on the axial retraction performance, the expansion uniformity, and the flexibility of the stent are analyzed by using the support body dimension and connector form as parameters. The results demonstrate that increasing the number and length of the circumferential support can improve the axial retraction performance, expansion uniformity, and the form of the connector has a significant influence on the flexibility of the stent. Finally, the optimized CO-Cr alloy stent with improved comprehensive indicators is described.

Impact of Bifurcation Lesions on Outcomes After FFR-Guided PCI or CABG.

Background: In the era of first-generation drug-eluting stents and angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the presence of a bifurcation lesion was associated with adverse outcomes after PCI. In contrast, the presence of a bifurcation lesion had no impact on outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Therefore, the presence of a coronary bifurcation lesion requires special attention when choosing between CABG and PCI.

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

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify variables at the time of clinical presentation which place patients at higher risk for mortality following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic lesions. Further, this study will create a risk score for mortality within two years following CEA for symptomatic stenosis to help tailor future postoperative and long-term management by identifying patients who require heightened vigilance in postoperative care to facilitate survival.
Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) CEA module was queried for procedures performed for symptomatic (within 180 days) carotid bifurcation stenosis.

: 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.

Article Synopsis
- The aim of the study was to create a reproducible animal model of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) using a self-expanding nickel-titanium stent.
- The experiment involved 10 pigs, 7 in the experimental group undergoing TR induction through stent implantation, while 3 served as controls without the stent.
- Results showed significant changes in cardiac structure and function in the experimental group, indicating successful model establishment with no fatalities, making this approach effective for further research on right ventricular issues.
