Is Systematic Use of Drug-Eluting Stents Justified? Arguments in Favour
نویسنده
چکیده
Rev Esp Cardiol 2004;57(2):99-108 99 The efficacy of drug-eluting stents measured as the late loss, percentage neointimal volume, restenosis, target lesion revascularization and major cardiac events is significantly better than that of bare metal stents. The incidence of thrombosis and aneurysms is similar. Although there is a slight increase in late malapposition, this is not followed by an increase in cardiac events. Despite the arguments against the routine use of drug-eluting stents, their cost is the only limiting factor for their unidespread use.

Antiproliferative drug-eluting stents represent a miles tone in advances in interventional cardiology. The amount and quality of the scientific evidence now show these new stents to be highly effective in reducing neointimal proliferation, and hence the process of restenosis. Their clinical impact can be expected to become relevant in terms of both increased indications for angioplasty and the ...
متن کاملThe cost-effectiveness of drug-eluting stents: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents have been seen as an attractive alternative to bare-metal stents for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) because of the decreased need for revascularization. However, comparative clinical trials have shown no difference in patient outcomes, and drug-eluting stents are considerably more expensive than their bare-metal counterparts. We conducted a systematic ...

Arterial drug concentration distribution determines local toxicity. The safety issues dealt with Drug-Eluting Stents (DESs) reveal the needs for investigation about the effective factors contributing to fluctuations in arterial drug uptake. The current study focused on the importance of hypertension as an important and controversial risk factor among researchers on the efficacy of Heparin-Eluti...
