Philips launches Duo Venous Stent System for Treatment of Symptomatic Venous Outflow Obstruction

DAIC

and an investigator in the VIVID study , which contributed to the device’s FDA approval – successfully used the Duo Venous Stent System for the first time outside of a clinical trial. Duo Hybrid has a distinct integrated design that combines multiple zones of differing mechanical properties into a single stent [3].

Interpreting clinical outcomes using different strut thickness in coronary artery disease: insights from vascular imaging analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCoronary artery disease is a global health concern that necessitates treatments, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). QCA and OCT were used to evaluate the lumen diameter, cross-sectional areas and stent apposition or coverage. OCT images of 61 participants were available.

Abstract 278: Patterns of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke Before and After the 2015 Pivotal Trials:5 Years Follow?up

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionThe 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines recommended mechanical thrombectomy with stent‐retriever devices. Compared with 2012‐2014, the 2015‐2019 cohort showed increased odds of ICH and shock while the odds of DVT, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and UTI were significantly lower.

Acute OMI or "Benign" Early Repolarization?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The note also says "slight lateral ST elevations noted, likely early repolarization since unchanged compared to 2014." Just before 10 AM, the patient received a stent to the culprit OM. We know that today's patient has had prior inferior OMI with stenting of his proximal RCA ~3 years earlier. Peak troponin was 12 ng/mL.

Abstract 173: A Case Series of Basilar Tip Aneurysm Endovascular Treatment – The Barrow Neurological Institute Experience

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Two adjunctive modifications of CE ‐ balloon remodeling techniques (BRT) and stent‐assisted coiling (SAC) ‐ have been utilized to facilitate occlusion of BTAs of variable anatomies/morphologies, sizes, and rupture status. Stents approved by FDA after 2014 (used in 13 cases) had a greater rate of retreatment (46.2% vs. 10.7%).
