Stent underexpansion and residual reference segment stenosis are related to stent thrombosis after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation: An intravascular ultrasound study

TLDR
In this article, the predictors of stent thrombosis after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation were determined. But, their results were limited to 15 patients who developed STC after successful SES implantation.

Pathology of Drug-Eluting Stents in Humans: Delayed Healing and Late Thrombotic Risk

TL;DR: The Cypher and Taxus DES result in delayed arterial healing when compared with BMS of similar implant duration, and the cause of DES LST is multifactorial with delayed healing in combination with other clinical and procedural risk factors playing a role.

Long-Term Outcomes with Drug-Eluting Stents versus Bare-Metal Stents in Sweden

TL;DR: Drug-eluting stents were associated with an increased rate of death, as compared with bare-metal stents, and the long-term safety of drug-eluted stents needs to be ascertained in large, randomized trials.

Drug-Eluting Stent and Coronary Thrombosis: Biological Mechanisms and Clinical Implications

TL;DR: Evidence of a substantially higher risk of stent thrombosis in drug-eluting stents in DES remains inconclusive; as a consequence, both large-scale and long-term clinical trials are needed.

Coronary stents: a materials perspective.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the following topics: different materials used for stents, surface characteristics that influence stent-biology interactions, the use of polymers in stenting, and drug-elutingStents, especially those that are commercially available.

Incomplete Stent Apposition and Very Late Stent Thrombosis After Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation

TL;DR: Incomplete stent apposition is highly prevalent in patients with very late stent thrombosis after DES implantation, suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of this adverse event.

Sirolimus-eluting stents versus standard stents in patients with stenosis in a native coronary artery.

TL;DR: In this randomized clinical trial involving patients with complex coronary lesions, the use of a sirolimus-eluting stent had a consistent treatment effect, reducing the rates of restenosis and associated clinical events in all subgroups analyzed.

Stent Thrombosis in the Modern Era A Pooled Analysis of Multicenter Coronary Stent Clinical Trials

TL;DR: Six recently completed coronary stent trials and associated nonrandomized registries that enrolled 6186 patients treated with ≥1 coronary stents followed by antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticlopidine were pooled for this analysis and the variables most significantly associated with the probability of stent thrombosis were persistent dissection NHLBI grade B or higher after stenting.

Predictors of Subacute Stent Thrombosis Results of a Systematic Intravascular Ultrasound Study

TL;DR: Subacute stent thrombosis is infrequently related to the preintervention lesion characteristics, and inadequate postprocedure lumen dimensions, alone or in combination with other procedurally related abnormal lesion morphologies contribute to this phenomenon.
