Drug-eluting stents (DES) have profoundly affected the field of interventional cardiology by dramatically reducing the problem of in-stent restenosis. However, the adverse, long-term, thrombosis raises the questions on the safety profile of DES. Femtosecond pulsed laser nanotexturing of metallic stents was performed to minimize thrombosis by improving three fundamental characteristics of DES: (1) increase the availability of drug for elution; (2) enhance the adhesion between stent and drug; and (3) minimize and, if possible, eliminate the polymer carrier. Results of laser-induced nanoprotrusion/drug interactions confirmed these benefits and indicated that femtosecond laser nanotexturing is a potential cost-effective solution for improving the performance and safety of DES while eliminating the need for postfinishing operations.

In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a significant clinical problem. The penetration of drug-eluting stents (DES) is quite variable and patients with DES may also suffer from ISR. Treatment of ISR remains a technical challenge and the long-term clinical outcome of these patients may be complicated by recurrences. Different strategies have been used for the treatment of patients with bare-metal ISR. Currently, DES constitute the intervention of choice in this setting. However, the best intervention for patients suffering from ISR after DES implantation remains to be elucidated. This report summarises our clinical and research efforts in this adverse anatomical scenario over the last decade. We will address the treatment of patients with ISR, revisiting the historical background, emphasising the currently available alternatives and disclosing future perspectives.
