Effect of drug-eluting stents on endothelial dysfunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Drug-eluting stents are considered a breakthrough in the treatment of coronary artery disease owing to their ability to reduce rates of restenosis and the subsequent need for target lesion revascularization. The literature has limited reports of long-term results of drug-eluting stent implantation with respect to vascular integrity and coronary endothelial function. Thus, we review the currently available data with use of different drug-eluting stents and their effects on endothelial cell dysfunction.

Interference of drug-eluting stents with endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion: evidence for device-specific responses.
BACKGROUND There is evidence that endothelial coverage of drug-eluting stents might be delayed or absent, a risk factor for late thrombotic events. We studied the effects of different drug-polymer-device iterations on endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion. Systemic markers of endothelial inflammation were correlated with coronary vasomotor changes. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with paclit...

First generation drug-eluting stents have considerably reduced in-stent restenosis and broadened the applications of percutaneous coronary interventions for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The polymer is an integral part of drug-eluting stents in that, it controls the release of an antiproliferative drug. The main safety concern of first generation drug-eluting stents with permanent p...

BACKGROUND Endothelial function is a prognostic predictor in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, in an era with widespread use of drug-eluting stents, the clinical relevance of endothelial dysfunction on restenosis in patients undergoing PCI has not been fully evaluated. METHODS This study included 80 patients with stable angina pectoris. Flow-mediated dilat...

OBJECTIVE Therapeutic strategies to provide local inhibition of mitogen mediated proliferation and migration of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMC) by means of drug-eluting stents have been shown to enable effective limitation of neointimal hyperplasia. However, currently available drug-eluting stents utilize compounds that may also adversely affect endothelial regrowth, thus poss...
