Mechanisms and treatment outcomes of ostial right coronary artery in-stent restenosis

Kei Yamamoto et al.

Summary: Using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), this study aimed to clarify the cause of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in the ostium of the right coronary artery (RCA). The main mechanisms found were neointimal hyperplasia, neoatherosclerosis, uncovered ostium, stent fracture or deformation, stent underexpansion, and protruding calcified nodules. Half of the ISR cases were due to mechanical causes, and treating mechanically caused ISR without new stent implantation led to a higher subsequent event rate.

Bench test and in vivo evaluation of longitudinal stent deformation during proximal optimisation

Gabor G. Toth et al.

Summary: This study investigated longitudinal stent deformation associated with the proximal optimisation technique (POT). The results showed that POT resulted in significant stent elongation in bench testing and clinical cases, especially in the left main stem.

The European bifurcation club Left Main Coronary Sent study: a randomized comparison of stepwise provisional vs. systematic dual stenting strategies (EBC MAIN)

David Hildick-Smith et al.

Summary: Among patients with true left main stem bifurcation lesions requiring intervention, fewer major adverse cardiac events occurred with a stepwise layered provisional approach than with planned dual stenting, although the difference was not statistically significant. The stepwise provisional strategy should remain the default for distal left main stem bifurcation intervention. Procedure time, X-ray dose and consumables favored the stepwise provisional approach.

Computational and experimental mechanical performance of a new everolimus-eluting stent purpose-built for left main interventions

Saurabhi Samant et al.

Summary: The study investigated the mechanical performance of a novel everolimus-eluting stent designed for left main coronary artery interventions, demonstrating that the 12-peak MEGATRON had superior expansion, scaffolding, vessel prolapse, and radial strength compared to other stent designs. Computational simulations accurately reproduced experimental stent testing, providing a cost-effective framework for stent research and development.

Summary: A study on patients with true left main stem bifurcation lesions showed that a stepwise provisional approach was associated with fewer major adverse cardiac events compared to planned dual stenting, supporting its use as the default strategy for distal left main stem bifurcation intervention.
