The introduction of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) revolutionized
the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease. However, despite increased surgical …

The process of restenosis is based on the interplay of various mechanical and biological
processes triggered by angioplasty-induced vascular trauma. Early arterial recoil, negative …

Background—Coronary stenting is associated with a restenosis rate of 15% to 20% at 6-
month follow-up, despite optimum angiographic stent implantation. In this multicenter …

Endoprostheses are small struts placed by intravascular way to restore the vascular lumen
and flow conditions. The purpose of this work is to provide models for evaluation and …

Background—Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)–guided stent implantation and the availability
of a reference chart to predict the expected in-stent restenosis rate based on operator …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate and compare in vivo acute stent recoil of a novel
bioabsorbable stent and a metallic stent. Background: The bioabsorbable everolimus …

BACKGROUND: Calcified coronary arteries have few viable smooth muscle cells capable of
proliferating, and, subsequently, might exhibit less in-stent restenosis. We therefore studied …

Intracoronary stent implantation (ICSI) has been widely used in interventional procedures. It
can induce an even greater increment in intervention effectiveness and in success rate than …

Aims: Left main stenting is increasingly performed and often involves deployment of a single
stent across vessels with marked disparity in diameters. Knowing stent expansion capacity is …

Endovascular revascularization has been increasingly utilized to treat patients with chronic
limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), particularly atherosclerotic disease in the infrapopliteal …
