Article Synopsis
- * In a reported case, angiography showed good dilatation and mild vascular dissection immediately post-DCB application, while angioscopy revealed damage to the vessel's inner layer.
- * Four months later, follow-up imaging indicated late lumen enlargement (LLE) and significant healing of the vessel's intima, with paclitaxel particles no longer present, suggesting DCB can lead to positive changes in AVF post-treatment.
Background: This prospective observational study evaluated the real-world effectiveness of nivolumab monotherapy in previously treated advanced gastric cancer (GC). A preplanned 2-year final analysis was performed to confirm survival and tumor behavior with nivolumab monotherapy.
Patients And Methods: The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS).

Background: Imaging modality-based evidence is limited that compares the extent of coronary arterial repair after percutaneous coronary intervention between patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and those with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: Between December 2018 and November 2021, a single-center, nonrandomized, observational study was conducted in 92 patients with SAP (n = 42) or ACS (n = 50), who were implanted with Orsiro sirolimus-eluting stent (O-SES) providing a hybrid (active and passive) coating and underwent 1-year follow-up by coronary angioscopy (CAS) after implantation. CAS assessed neointimal coverage (NIC), maximum yellow plaque (YP), and mural thrombus (MT).

Department of Cardiology, Higashi-osaka City Medical Center, 3-4-5 Nishi Iwata, Higashi-osaka, Osaka 578-8588, Japan.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to elucidate the impact of out-stent plaque characteristics on vascular response after implantation of second generation drug-eluting stent (G2-DES).
Methods: Enrolled were 37 patients with 39 coronary artery lesions into which three types of G2-DES were successfully implanted (9 Nobori biolimus-, BES; 15 Xience everolimus-, EES; 15 Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents; R-ZES). Immediately after (baseline) and one year after the implantation (follow-up), iMAP-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed to measure out-stent plaque volume (OSPV) and its components.
Angioscopic observation of extremely late arterial repair after intracoronary implantation of the first-generation sirolimus-eluting stents.

Background: Arterial repair delays after intracoronary implantation of Cypher sirolimus-eluting stents (SES), a representative first-generation drug-eluting stent. It remains unclear whether this delay would catch up with bare metal stents (BMS) during extremely long observation. The aim of this study was angioscopic observation of extremely late arterial repair after Cypher SES implantation.
