TL;DR: Investigation of the acute and short-time effect of supplementation with n-3 PUFA and intravenous ASA on platelet function, platelet fatty acid composition and plasma lipids found a minor inhibition of platelet reactivity but negligible compared to 100 mg ASA.

TL;DR: In a limited number of patients no significant differences could be detected in clinical or angiographic parameters between patients treated with long tubular or long coiled stents.
Abstract: Objective : To investigate effects of stent flexibility on 6 months' clinical and angiographic outcome in long stented lesions. Design : A total of 44 genuine coronary artery lesions (lesion length >20 mm and h 30 mm) were randomized to implantation with a 30 mm long flexible coiled stainless steel stent (Freedom Force ® , Global Therapeutics) ( n = 23) or a 30 mm long stiff tubular stainless steel stent (Crown ® , Johnson & Johnson) ( n = 21). Results : Target vessel revascularization was performed in 10 patients (45%) in the Freedom Force ® stent group, and in 7 patients (33%) in the Crown ® stent group (ns). No significant differences concerning minimum lumen diameter (MLD), early gain, late loss or binary restenosis rate were seen. In the Freedom Force ® stent group all restenoses were located within the stent. In the Crown ® stent group three (27%) of the restenoses were located at the edge of the stent (ns). Conclusion : In a limited number of patients no significant differences could be detecte...
