Bare metal stents deliver gene therapy to heart vessels with less inflammation in animal studies

Improved materials may allow stents, tiny metal scaffolds inserted into blood vessels, to better deliver beneficial genes to patients with heart disease, by reducing the risk of inflammation that often negates initial benefits. The new technique, using a compound that binds in an extremely thin layer to bare metal surfaces, may have potential uses in other areas of medicine that make use of metal...

Analyzing The Side Effects Of Sirolimus Stents

Based on findings of a recent study researchers from Sweden say they have found that implantation //of a sirolimus-eluting stent is associated with coronary vasoconstriction in areas adjacent to the treated vessel that is not seen with bare metal stents. Sirolimus-eluting stents are widely used for percutaneous coronary interventions because of their excellent long-term clinical and a...

Drug-Coated Stents – Proven to be More Effectiv

New research proves drug-coated stents effectively combat death, heart attack and repeat procedures .A recent study done takes a closer look at the effects of drug-coated stents on patients.// The study included more than 500 patients with previously untreated blocked arteries who were treated with drug-eluting stents. An additional 450 patients with comparable blockages were treated...

The Efficacy Of Newer Stents Questioned

People who undergo a balloon angioplasty to open a clogged artery often receive a stent as well a small, wire-mesh device inserted into the artery// to keep it from closing. The problem with older stents, however, has been that they can trigger an immune response from the cells in the walls of the artery that cause the artery to become occluded. Stents coated with drugs to stop this proc...

Expandable metal stents used in digestive cancers

Dr. Todd H. Baron from Mayo Foundation in Rochester, Minnesota has created a break through of sorts by using expandable metal stents in the digestive tract of people afflicted with gastrointestinal cancers. These patients commonly suffer from obstructions and they present with symptoms like difficulty in swallowing, if the block is in the esophagus; they might present wi...
