Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of late in-stent restenosis after implantation of a paclitaxel derivate-eluting polymer stent system in humans.
Renu Virmani,Francesco Liistro,Goran Stankovic,Carlo Di Mario,Matteo Montorfano,Andrew Farb,Frank D. Kolodgie,Antonio Colombo +7 more
TL;DR: Restenotic lesions from QuaDS-QP2–eluting stents at 12 months show persistent fibrin deposition with varying degrees of inflammation, representing delayed healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary pressure measurement to assess the hemodynamic significance of serial stenoses within one coronary-artery : validation in humans
Nico H.J. Pijls,Bernard De Bruyne,G. Jan Willem Bech,Francesco Liistro,Guy R. Heyndrickx,Hans Bonnier,Jacques J. Koolen +6 more
TL;DR: Coronary pressure measurements made by a pressure wire at maximum hyperemia provide a simple, practical method for assessing the individual hemodynamic significance of multiple stenoses within the same artery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug-Eluting Balloon in Peripheral Intervention for Below the Knee Angioplasty Evaluation (DEBATE-BTK) A Randomized Trial in Diabetic Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia
Francesco Liistro,Italo Porto,Paolo Angioli,Simone Grotti,Lucia Ricci,Kenneth Ducci,Giovanni Falsini,Giorgio Ventoruzzo,Filippo Turini,Guido Bellandi,Leonardo Bolognese +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the efficacy of a paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon versus conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the reduction of restenosis in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia undergoing endovascular intervention of below-the-knee arteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-stent restenosis in small coronary arteries: impact of strut thickness
Carlo Briguori,Cristiano Sarais,Paolo Pagnotta,Francesco Liistro,Matteo Montorfano,Alaide Chieffo,Fabio Sgura,Nicola Corvaja,Remo Albiero,Goran Stankovic,Costantinos Toutoutzas,Erminio Bonizzoni,Carlo Di Mario,Antonio Colombo +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether strut thickness may impact the restenosis rate after stent implantation in small coronary arteries and found that strut thickness is an independent predictor of restena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified t-stenting technique with crushing for bifurcation lesions: immediate results and 30-day outcome
Antonio Colombo,Goran Stankovic,Dejan Orlic,Nicola Corvaja,Francesco Liistro,Flavio Airoldi,Alaide Chieffo,Vassilis Spanos,Matteo Montorfano,Carlo Di Mario +9 more
TL;DR: Treatment of bifurcation lesions using crushing stent technique is feasible with acceptable rate of procedural complications and angiographic follow‐up is necessary to prove the advantage of this specific technique to give complete coverage of the ostium of the side branch with a drug‐eluting stent.
