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].

SMT Publishes Trial Results for Supraflex Cruz Stent

DAIC

Smits and a distinguished team of international researchers, the trial compares the performance of SMT's biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting Supraflex Cruz stent with the biodegradable-polymer Ultimaster Tansei * stent in patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

Risk factors, prevention, and therapy of intraluminal stent thrombosis in frozen elephant trunk prostheses—what we know so far

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this phenomenon, a thrombus forms within the lumen of the stent graft component of the frozen elephant trunk prosthesis and puts the patient at risk for downstream embolization with visceral or lower limb ischemia. The long-term efficiency of these prophylactic and therapeutic measures has yet to be proven.

Transcatheter intervention of modified Blalock–Taussig shunts in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing stage 1 palliation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We recorded several key outcomes, including early and late intervention-related complications, the need for reintervention, the interval between the NP and the first intervention, shunt patency following the intervention, associated morbidities, and thrombosis-related sudden events. kg), respectively.

Prolocor, Slingshot Bioscience Publish Paper on Prognostic Tool to Help Assess Thrombosis Risk

DAIC

"Clinicians need better tools to guide decision making on the choice of antiplatelet therapy in coronary artery disease patients, particularly after coronary stenting. The Prolocor pFCG test will be an important asset as we tailor antiplatelet therapies to balance thrombotic and bleeding risk" said Dominick J.

Clinical outcomes and aortic remodeling after Castor single-branched stent-graft implantation for type B aortic dissections involving left subclavian artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe left subclavian artery (LSA) can be intentionally covered by a stent graft to acquire adequate landing zones for a proximal entry tear near the LSA during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The Castor single-branched stent graft is designed to treat type B aortic dissection (TBAD) to retain the LSA during TEVAR.

Percutaneous Coronary Interventions Using a Ridaforolimus?Eluting Stent in Patients at High Bleeding Risk

Journal of the American Heart Association

Drug‐eluting stents have been shown to be superior to bare‐metal stents in patients with HBR, even when patients were given abbreviated periods of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Short DAPT has not been evaluated with the EluNIR ridaforolimus‐eluting stent. presented with acute coronary syndrome; 33.7%
