Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is superior to traditional angiography-guided DES implantation in reducing target vessel failure (TVF), a new analysis ...

A new sub-study suggests that using a sirolimus-eluting balloon (SEB), a drug-coated balloon, can reduce the number of stents a patient may need, making it a safe and effective way to treat certain ...

No IVUS was performed before stent placement in either group. In the angiography-directed (AG) arm, procedural success was defined as <10% stent diameter stenosis compared with the distal reference ...

Use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) rather than angiography to guide drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation results in lower rates of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction (MI), and major adverse ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—IVUS-guided implantation of drug-eluting stents results in lower rates of target vessel failure (TVF) by 1 year compared to angiography-guided procedures, according to results from a new ...

A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from ...

Abbott aims to build optical coherence tomography into a preferred tool for guiding the placement of stents that increase blood flow to the heart muscle. But a pair of major late-breaking studies ...

A new sub-study suggests that using a sirolimus-eluting balloon (SEB), a drug-coated balloon, can reduce the number of stents ...

STANFORD, Calif. — Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes — and ultimately save lives — if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the ...

When a Cardiologist tells you that you have“90 percent blockage,” the mind goes straight to fear. Most families immediately ask three questions. Is this a heart attack. Do I need a stent right now.
