Angioplasty for the erectile dysfunction

Original title: Zotarolimus-Eluting Peripheral Stents for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in Subjects With Suboptimal Response to Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors. Reference: Jason H. Rogers et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2012. Article in press Up to 52% of men between 40 – 70 years old present some degree of erectile dysfunction, and 50% of these men get a suboptimal...

Clinical Significance of Collaterals in Chronic Total Occlusions

Again in the bifurcation, less is more.

It has been reported that the two stents technique is not superior to a provisional stent when treating bifurcations. However, the optimal approach to rescue a secondary branch (SB) when initially opting for provisional stenting has not been established.    The aim of this study was to determine angioplasty indication using balloon or stent for...

The use of a paclitaxel eluting balloon in small vessels

Original title: A Randomized Multicenter Study Comparing a Paclitaxel Drug-Eluting Balloon With a Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent in Small Coronary Vessels. The BELLO (Balloon Elution and Late Loss Optimization) Study Reference: Referencia: Azeem Latib et al J Am Coll Cardiol 2012;()doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2012.09.020 The utility of paclitaxel-eluting balloons to treat in-stent restenosis is known but data for novo lesions is more limited. ...

Drug-Eluting Stents: device without polymers overcomes limitations of first generations stents

The NEXT randomized trial showed the superiority of a polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent compared to paclitaxel-eluting stents with permanent polymers The NEXT clinical trial (International Randomized Comparison Between DES Limus Carbostent and Taxus Drug-Eluting Stents in the Treatment of De Novo Coronary Lesions), is a multicenter randomized trial (n=296) comparing coronary amphilimus eluting stent Cre8 (CID,...
