An unintended consequence of the market success of drug-eluting stents has been a growing concern about their safety and safety-related costs. These devices have been so quickly and widely adopted that their market penetration already equals that of some of the most popular pharmaceutical drugs. Consequently, the absolute significance of even a low incidence of side effects becomes magnified by… View more

The current generation of drug-eluting stents (DES) that are clinically available in the US represent significant advancements compared to angioplasty, bare metal stents, and the first generation of DES. The Xience everolimus-eluting stents (Abbott Vascular), Promus everolimus-eluting stents (Boston Scientific) and Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents (Medtronic) demonstrate the optimal balance of… View more

Drug-eluting stents (DES) have revolutionized the field of interventional cardiology. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expecting that the total number of DES implanted in 2010 will surpass 5 million worldwide. Although initial results seemed promising, longer-term follow-up in a wider range of patients revealed some concerns. Enhanced platelet aggregation, delayed neointimal growth, a… View more

Coronary angioplasty has revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. Over the past two decades the field has seen numerous innovations in an attempt to perfect the percutaneous management of coronary atherosclerotic disease. The development of coronary stenting was a major advance in preventing elastic recoil and treating dissections following balloon angioplasty.1 Unfortunately,… View more
