Much has been written, but little is known, about the long-term outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES). The introduction of DES has extended the use of stents from a passive platform for vessel wall scaffolding to an active biotechnology vehicle for local delivery of antiproliferative pharmacotherapy. Like any other therapy or medical technology, no treatment is perfect and free of potential…

Abstract
Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularization has been debated and…

The growing epidemic of cardiovascular disease, together with an ageing population represents a substantial clinical challenge that stretches healthcare budgets. There is an urgent need for both interventions focused on prevention and treatment innovations. In two sessions of presentations at EuroPCR on the 20th May 2014 in Paris, companies presented their latest innovations. The aim of these…

Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) intervention is challengingto the operator due to a wide array of factors as compared to treating other stenosis elsewhere in the coronary tree. Complications arising from hemodynamic instability, lack of proximal reference angiographically and lesion preparation due to a higher rate of atherosclerosis make LM Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) by far the most complex…

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…

Innovative technologies and refinements of existing therapies are shaping 21st century cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment. Researchers are gaining new perspectives on diseases and their treatment at the cellular and subcellular levels. Cardiologists are evaluating and treating coronary arteries by means of intravascular intervention. Surgeons are shortening recovery times and increasing cost…
