A clinical trial has established the non-inferiority of a drug-eluting stent with a bioabsorbable polymer compared to a drug-eluting stent with a durable polymer. Results of the EVOLVE clinical trial were presented at the 23rd annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific...
A randomized comparison of a dual therapy stent - which combines low-dose sirolimus delivery from an abluminal biodegradable polymer matrix with a covalently bound anti-CD34 antibody layer - with a paclitaxel-eluting stent showed that the dual therapy stent effectively controls neointimal...
Researchers have found that polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stents in de novo coronary artery lesions showed a significantly lower in-stent late loss at six months compared to paclitaxel-eluting stents with permanent polymers. Results of the NEXT trial were presented at the 23rd annual...
A clinical trial of patients with restenosis in drug-eluting stents (DES) in native coronary arteries found that treatment with paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty demonstrated superior results over plain old uncoated-balloon angioplasty (POBA). Results from the PEPCAD-DES clinical trial were...
The TWENTE clinical trial, which compared two second generation drug-eluting stents - zotarolimus and everolimus-eluting stents - established non-inferiority between the two stents as measured by the primary endpoint: target vessel failure (TVF) at one year. Both stents also demonstrated low...
A clinical trial testing the efficacy of rotational atherectomy (or rotablation, a process of drilling through plaque deposits) prior to implantation of a drug-eluting stent found that the process was not superior to standard balloon angioplasty and decreased the efficacy of the stent in...
Researchers conducting the ADVISE clinical trial have concluded that a new measure of stenosis severity, instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), yielded similar results to traditional fractional flow reserve (FFR) without the use of adenosine to induce maximum hyperemia. Trial results were...
A clinical trial of patients with diabetes has demonstrated that cryoplasty post-dilitation compared to conventional balloon angioplasty in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) decreased the risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Results from the COBRA clinical trial were presented at the 23rd...
