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 ...

Using intravascular imaging to guide stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in heart disease patients significantly improves survival and reduces adverse cardiovascular ...

Stents are permanent mesh tubes that help direct blood flow to the heart or other organs. Usually, stents are not replaced but may be reinforced. However, some people may experience issues such as ...

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 ...
