The document discusses research being conducted at the University of Craiova on modular orthopedic implants using shape memory alloys. The research aims to develop adaptive bone plates made of interchangeable titanium or steel modules connected by nitinol staples. This would allow plates tailored for each bone fracture and enable stabilization, rigidity, and continuous compression needed for healing. Experimental results show these modular implants provide superior osteosynthesis to conventional implants by reducing soft tissue destruction, infections, blood loss, and healing time.
- SYNTAX II is a single-arm international study comparing outcomes of contemporary PCI using the Synergy stent to the PCI arm of the original SYNTAX trial.
- The study aims to evaluate how improvements in stent platform/design, polymer coatings, and ischemia-guided revascularization impact outcomes compared to earlier generation DES.
- Preliminary data from one center shows physiological assessment with FFR/iFR may reclassify a significant portion of multivessel patients originally thought to require multi-vessel PCI based on angiography alone.
This document discusses biodegradable coronary stents and future solutions. It notes that metal stents have drawbacks like permanent irritation and inability to restore normal vessel physiology. Biodegradable stents aim to eliminate these issues by degrading over time and allowing the vessel to heal. Design considerations for biodegradable stents include degradation rate, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and drug loading. Examples of biodegradable stents discussed include the Igaki-Tamai stent, Abbott's everolimus-eluting stent, and REVA's paclitaxel-eluting stent. New concepts discussed are pro-healing stents coated with endothelial progenitor cells and drug-eluting ballo
This document discusses in-stent neoatherosclerosis, which refers to the development of new atherosclerotic lesions inside coronary stents. Percutaneous coronary intervention procedures like stenting cause endothelial injury and disrupt blood flow, promoting inflammation and accelerated atherosclerosis. Over time, this can lead to problems like in-stent restenosis and late stent thrombosis. While similar to native coronary atherosclerosis, in-stent neoatherosclerosis develops more rapidly. Factors like stent strut design, polymer coatings, and incomplete re-endothelialization all contribute to this pathological process.
This document summarizes the current status of bioresorbable scaffolds for treating coronary artery disease. It describes the materials used in bioresorbable scaffolds like PLLA and magnesium, as well as some of the first bioresorbable scaffolds developed. Potential benefits of bioresorbable scaffolds include reduced risk of thrombosis, less inflammation, and restoration of vasomotion. However, limitations remain such as lack of large randomized trials and limited scaffold sizes currently available. While bioresorbable scaffolds show advantages over permanent stents, more evidence is still needed before widespread adoption.
The document discusses Abbott's bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting stent and its potential advantages over drug-eluting stents. It proposes a clinical trial to test the bioabsorbable stent in diabetic patients to demonstrate improved safety and efficacy compared to drug-eluting stents in a high risk population. Quantitative analyses estimate the cost-effectiveness and return on investment of the bioabsorbable stent if thrombosis and revascularization rates are reduced compared to drug-eluting stents.
This document summarizes the history and development of bioresorbable scaffolds and stents. It discusses early technologies like balloon angioplasty and bare metal stents, followed by drug-eluting stents. It then focuses on bioresorbable polymer and metal scaffolds/stents, including the Absorb BVS, Igaki-Tamai stent, DREAMS stents, and REVA stent. Clinical trials evaluating various bioresorbable devices are summarized, showing improvements in reducing restenosis but also issues with vessel recoil and neo-intimal hyperplasia.
Below the knee intervention; balloons or stentsMohamed Ashraf
This document discusses endovascular interventions for below-the-knee peripheral artery disease. It reviews the use of plain balloon angioplasty, bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents, and drug-coated balloons. While balloon angioplasty alone has high restenosis rates, bare-metal stents provide improved outcomes but drug-eluting stents have been shown to further reduce restenosis and reintervention rates compared to bare-metal stents. Drug-coated balloons have potential benefits but large clinical trials have produced mixed results regarding their efficacy compared to plain balloon angioplasty. The optimal treatment remains an area of ongoing investigation.

This document discusses contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing angiography and discusses the risks and outcomes associated with CI-AKI. It notes that choice of contrast agent is critical for high risk patients, as Visipaque has been shown to reduce the risk of CI-AKI and its associated complications compared to low-osmolar contrast media. Even transient increases in serum creatinine from CI-AKI can lead to increased long-term costs, morbidity, and mortality from cardiovascular events. Managing cardio-renal risk is important in high risk populations undergoing intra-arterial procedures.

Maurizio D’Amico MD — Clinical evidence – based safety and efficacy of a biolimus eluting stent with biodegradable polymer technology
1. Clinical evidence – based safety and efficacy
of a biolimus eluting stent with
biodegradable polymer technology

Biolimus Eluting Stent
• Derived from rapamycin, developed by Biosensors specially for stent applications
• Cytostatic drug with proven immunosoppresive and antiprofilerative properties
• Waste reduction in blood flow and exposure to systemic level to greater
localization of the drug and absorption by the tissues thanks to:
• High lipophilicity
• Coating abluminal
6. The platform
Enhanced flexibility and navigability
• Curved connectors
• Quadrature link exclusive design
• Open cells drawing
• 6 crowns Ø da 2.25 a 3.00
mm
• 9 crownsØ da 3.50 a 4.00 mm
Available models
Optimized access to side branch
1.56 mm BioMatrix Flex™
20. LEADERS
Conclusions
• Biodegradable polymer BES maintained non-inferiority and
improved long-term clinical outcomes compared to SES
through 5 years (Psup =0.071)
• Biodegradable polymer BES demonstrated a 74% relative risk
reduction in very late definite stent thrombosis (VLST)
• The benefit of biodegradable polymer BES emerged in the very
late phase and was mainly driven by a lower risk of MACE
associated with definite VLST
32. LEADERS-AMI
Conclusions
• Biodegradable polymer BES provided significant
improvements in clinical outcomes in patients with AMI
at 5 years follow up , compared with SES with durable
polymer stent
• The benefit appeared more significant in the subgroup of
patients with STEMI, suggesting that BES should be
favourably considered for treating STEMI patients
55. LEADERS-BIFURCATION
Conclusions
•A one stent strategy is the most prevalent
stenting technique
•In patients with bifurcation lesions:
Observed trend for more MI with BES
(p=NS)
Significantly greater TVR/TLR with SES
(p<0.05)
Overall MACE at 12 months was similar
between BES and SES (p=NS).
56. Does stent design impact
the outcome in
bifurcation treatment?
Registries Randomised Control Trials
Evidence exists from registries and randomised trials
which suggests that stent design does impact on outcome
in bifurcation lesions.
57. Ability to deploy the stent across
the lesion
Stent profile and cell geometry
PCI procedure
Does stent design impact
the outcome in
bifurcation treatment?

No evidence that platform material (stainless steel,
chrome-cobalt or others) has an impact on clinical and
angiographic outcome.
