Evaluation of a bifurcation drug-eluting stent system versus provisional T-stenting in a perfused synthetic coronary artery model

Journal of Interventional Cardiology

Abstract

Provisional T-stenting is a widely used strategy for the treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions. However, the use of conventional stents in this setting is limited by multiple factors; this includes technical considerations such as wire wrap when accessing the involved vessel, and stent overlap at or near the carina of the lesion. In addition, current slotted tube stent technology tends to be associated with gaps in the coverage of the side branch ostium, which may result in restenosis in that segment of the lesion. The Pathfinder device, now more commonly referred to as the Xience Side Branch Access System (Xience SBA) is a drug-eluting stent (DES) designed specifically to assist in the treatment of bifurcation lesions by allowing wire access into the side branch, irrespective of the treatment strategy to be employed. The Xience SBA drug-eluting stent was compared with the standard Vision coronary stent system using a provisional T-stenting strategy in a perfused synthetic model of the coronary vasculature with side branch angulations of 30 degrees , 50 degrees , 70 degrees , and 90 degrees . Stent delivery was performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Following the procedure, high-resolution 2D Faxitron imaging was use...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
