Background—Biodegradable polymers for release of antiproliferative drugs from drug-eluting stents aim to improve vascular healing. We assessed noninferiority of a novel ultrathin strut drug-eluting stent releasing sirolimus from a biodegradable polymer (Orsiro, O-SES) compared with the durable polymer Xience Prime everolimus-eluting stent (X-EES) in terms of the primary end...

Aims Late acquired incomplete stent apposition (ISA) is more common after drug- eluting stent (DES) than bare metal stent (BMS) implantation and has been associated with vascular hypersensitivity and stent thrombosis (ST). We investigated the impact of incidentally discovered ISA as assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) 8 months after DES implantation on the long-term clinical...

Objectives: We sought to determine the efficacy and safety of a scoring balloon for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Background: The optimal therapy for ISR is not yet properly established and subject to many discussions. The GRIP™ Balloon (Acrostak, Switzerland) might be of interest for the treatment of certain types of ISR. Methods: Between 2003 and 2009, 157 patients who were...

Objectives: This study sought to compare the efficacy of passive stent coating with titanium-nitride-oxide (TiNO) with drug-eluting stents releasing zotarolimus (ZES) (Endeavor, Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota).Background: Stent coating with TiNO has been shown to reduce restenosis compared with bare-metal stents in experimental and clinical studies.Methods: In an assessor-blind noninferiority...
