The benefits of conventional stenting are primarily conferred within weeks of angioplasty ... assessed the feasibility of bioabsorbable coronary stents made from a magnesium alloy—demonstrated ...

Opening a blocked artery with balloons and stents can be lifesaving but as Gujarat deaths show, cases of misuse are also ...

Summary: The use of balloon angioplasty with or without coronary artery stenting is limited by the phenomenon of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Until very recently, most efforts to overcome ISR had ...

The process involves combining coronary angioplasty with stenting, which is the insertion of a permanent wire-meshed tube that is either drug eluting (DES) or composed of bare metal (BMS).

A stent is a small tube that helps keep the artery open. It can also keep small pieces of plaque from breaking off and causing problems. You may need to spend the night in the hospital. For 1 or 2 ...

Transcatheter procedures can be lifesaving. Herein, the coronary stenting procedure applied to a 3-month-old patient with post-surgical coronary stenosis is presented. Herein, we present the ...

Researchers said one of the main takeaways from the study was that adequate stent expansion can be achieved with conventional balloon angioplasty as long as meticulous attention is paid to ...

For patients with severely calcified coronary lesions ... one-year patient outcomes compared to routine balloon angioplasty prior to stenting," study chair Gregg W. Stone, M.D., from the Icahn ...
