Novel stent and drug elution technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
To address concerns of late and very late stent thrombosis associated with first generation drug-eluting stent technology, novel approaches are being tested including stents with bioabsorbable polymers (including Biomatrix FlexTM, NoboriTM and SynergyTM), polymer-free drug delivery systems (including BiofreedomTM and Yukon®) and drug-eluting balloons (including Sequent PleaseTM, Dior® II and Pantera LuxTM). This article reviews the key clinical data evaluating these approaches and describes future directions for technology development.

A novel bioabsorbable drug-eluting tracheal stent.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Currently available silicone and metallic stents for tracheal stenosis are associated with problems of granulations, mucus trapping, and difficult removals. Our aim was to develop a novel bioabsorbable tracheal stent with mitomycin C (MMC) drug elution to circumvent such problems. STUDY DESIGN A randomized animal study. METHODS Twenty-five rabbits were randomly assigne...
متن کاملStent elution rate determines drug deposition and receptor-mediated effects.
Drug eluting stent designs abound and yet the dependence of efficacy on drug dose and elution duration remains unclear. We examined these issues within a mathematical framework of arterial drug distribution and receptor binding following stent elution. Model predictions that tissue content linearly tracks stent elution rate were validated in porcine coronary artery sirolimus-eluting stents impl...
متن کاملStent deformation, physical stress, and drug elution obtained with provisional stenting, conventional culotte and Tryton-based culotte to treat bifurcations: a virtual simulation study.
AIMS This study sought to investigate the possible influence of different bifurcation stenting techniques on stent deformation, physical stress, and drug elution using a virtual tool that includes structural, fluid dynamics and drug-eluting numerical models. METHODS AND RESULTS A virtual bench test based on explicit dynamics modelling was used to simulate procedures on bifurcated coronary ves...
متن کاملThe effect of variable dose and release kinetics on neointimal hyperplasia using a novel paclitaxel-eluting stent platform: the Paclitaxel In-Stent Controlled Elution Study (PISCES).
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of variable dose and release kinetics of paclitaxel on neointimal hyperplasia. BACKGROUND Conventional paclitaxel-eluting stents use a durable polymer coating as a vehicle for drug delivery. The Conor stent (Conor Medsystems, Menlo Park, California) with intra-strut wells and erodable polymer is specifically designed for drug deliver...
متن کاملDrug-eluting stents: insights into safety and indications.
Ann Saudi Med 28(2) March-April 2008 www.kfshrc.edu.sa/annals 114 Drug-eluting stents have attracted considerable attention since their commercial approval more than 5 years ago when they were considered by some as one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Different drug-eluting stents, with different drugs, different polymers, and different elution kine...
