Background—Increased thrombogenicity and smooth muscle cell proliferative response
induced by the metal struts compromise the advantages of coronary stenting. The objective …

In this paper we examine whether the structure, geometry and dimensions of coronary stents
influence the occurrence of restenosis. Whilst many consider these parameters to be less …

Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that thinner-strut stents are associated with a reduced
rate of restenosis when comparing two stents with different design. Background: We have …

A stent is a medical device designed to serve as a temporary or permanent internal scaffold
to maintain or increase the lumen of a body conduit. The researchers and engineers …

Intravascular stents of various designs are currently in use to restore patency in
atherosclerotic coronary arteries and it has been found that different stents have different in …

Objectives: We sought to evaluate clinical restenosis in a large population of patients who
had undergone coronary stent placement. Background: One-year success after coronary …

Coronary stent implantation is being performed in an increasing number of patients with a
wide spectrum of clinical and lesion characteristics. A variety of stent designs are now …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of death from coronary artery
disease and may modify the response to standard cardiovascular therapies. Treatment of …

The percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) assisted with stenting
technique has become a primary therapy to coronary heart disease. In practice, the structure …

Despite the prevalent use of crystalline alloys in current vascular stent technology, new
biomaterials are being actively sought after to improve stent performance. In this study, we …
