The bifurcation optimization stent system (BiOSS) LIM (Balton, Warsaw, Poland) stent is a dedicated coronary bifurcation stent. Its unique construction is developed in accordance with the anatomy of the coronary bifurcations, thus eliminating the carina displacement as a mechanism of side branch ostium compromise. Since its development in 2008, the BiOSS stent underwent several changes with the latest version created of sirolimus eluting cobalt-chromium stent. Results from registries and randomized clinical trials showed that implantation of the BiOSS stent is safe and effective with comparable results for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and target lesion revascularisation rates between the BiOSS and regular drug-eluting stent groups. This stent provides alternative for coronary bifurcation treatment, especially when there is a large difference in diameter between the main vessel and the main branch.

Since the first reported use of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), advances in the interventional cardiology arena have been fast-paced. Within the last 10 years, these developments have been exponential. Developers and clinicians are fast adapting from the learning curve awarded by the time-course of drug-eluting stent (DES) evolution. The BioMime™ sirolimus-eluting coronary stent is a new step towards a biomimicry concept. The stent is built on an ultra-low strut thickness (65µm) cobalt–chromium stent platform using an intelligent hybrid of close and open cells allowing for morphology-mediated expansion, and employs a well-known antiproliferative – sirolimus – that elutes from a biodegradable co-polymer formulation in 30 days and ensures high coating integrity and a low coating thickness of 2µm. The resultant stent demonstrated almost 100% endothelialisation at 30 days in pre-clinical models and 0% major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at six months in the primary efficacy and safety clinical study.

Abstract Background The second generation drug-eluting stent (G2-DES) has been reported as superior to the first generation drug-eluting stent (G1-DES) in mid-term outcomes. However, the late-term outcomes between G1-DES and G2-DES in two-stenting for coronary bifurcation lesions are not well studied. Purpose To evaluate the late catch-up phenomenon and late-term target lesion revascularization (TLR) of two-stenting for coronary bifurcation lesions between G1-DES and G2-DES. Methods This study included 1133 lesions in 1089 patients undergoing drug eluting stent implantation with two stenting from 2004 to 2016. These consisted of 496 G1-DES implanted lesions and 637 G2-DES implanted lesions. Late-term follow-up angiography was performed without in-stent restenosis (ISR) and TLR at mid-term follow-up in 582 lesions (242 G1-DES lesions and 340 G2-DES lesions). ISR was defined as more than 50% restenosis. Late catch-up phenomenon was defined as ISR without ISR within 1 year following index stent implantation. Late-term TLR was defined as from 1 to 5 year TLR. Bifurcation lesions were defined as the main branch ranging from the proximal stem to the distal main branch with boundaries defined by 5 mm proximal and distal to the stent-implanted area, and the side branch ranging from the bifurcation carina to the distal side branch with boundaries defined by the carina and 5 mm distal to the stent-implanted area. Results The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years (the first and third quarters, 3.2 and 7.1 years). The late-catch up phenomenon rate significantly differed between the G1-DES and G2-DES groups (16.9% vs 8.4%, p=0.001). A significant difference in late catch-up between the same two groups was also observed in bifurcation lesions of the main branch (5.0% vs 0.6%, p=0.001) and side branch (10.3% vs 5.6%, p=0.033), respectively. The 5-year cumulative rates also differed between the two groups in TLR (8.2% vs 3.7% log-rank p=0.001), and late-term TLR (7.0% vs 3.6% log-rank p=0.001). Conclusion Two-stenting using G2-DES, compared with G1-DES, significantly reduced late-term restenosis and TLR. The restenosis rate in bifurcation area may be associated with differences between two groups in late-term outcome.

Abstract Purpose To compare the effects of paclitaxal-coated balloon (PCB) versus conventional balloon (CB) on side branch (SB) lesion and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions. Methods In total, 219 patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions were enrolled and divided into PCB group (102 cases) and CB group (117 cases) according to angioplasty strategy in SB. Drug-eluting stent (DES) was implanted in main vessel (MV) for each subject. All subjects underwent a 12-month follow-up for late lumen loss (LLL), restenosis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MACEs included cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. Results There were no differences in diameter, minimum lumen diameter (MLD) and stenosis for bifurcation lesions between the two groups before and immediately after PCI (P > 0.05). After 12-month follow-up, no differences occurred in MV-MLD and MV-LLL between the two groups (P > 0.05); SB-MLD in PCB group was higher than that in CB group (1.97 ± 0.36 mm vs. 1.80 ± 0.43 mm, P = 0.007); SB-LLL in PCB group was lower than that in CB group (0.11 ± 0.18 mm vs. 0.19 ± 0.25 mm, P = 0.024). Multivariate COX analyses indicated that PCB group had lower MACE risk than CB group (HR = 0.480, 95%CI 0.244–0.941, P = 0.033). Conclusion PCB could decrease SB-LLL and MACE risk in patients with de novo true coronary bifurcation lesion 12 months after single-DES intervention.

Background: Stent implantation for coronary bifurcation is intrinsically accompanied with inappropriate strut apposition around side branch (SB), which has potential risk for future development of stent thrombosis. Previous experimental studies indicated that side branch angle (SBA) influences the local flow turbulence and wall shear stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between SBA and the neointimal coverage of drug-eluting stent (DES) which were implanted in coronary bifurcation lesions. Methods: Forty-seven bifurcation lesions treated with DES were evaluated with FD-OCT in 39 patients (mean age; 65.7±13.9 y.o) at follow-up angiography. Each lesions were divided into the bifurcation lesions without kissing balloon technique (KBT) after stent implantation (non-KBT group; 28 lesions) and those with KBT (KBT group; 19 lesions). Neointimal coverage was assessed based on cross-sectional OCT images containing SB at 0.4mm interval, and separately evaluated in terms of jailing struts over the SB ostium (SO) and non-jailing struts attaching to the vessel wall (VW). BA was measured on the longitudinal reconstruction images of FD-OCT before stent implantation. Incidence of uncovered struts and neointimal thickness were measured. Results: In non-KBT group, the percentage of uncovered struts was significantly higher in lesions with SBA≦60°compared with those with SBA>60°at both SO and VW region (56.9±39.8% vs. 25.6±26.8%, p<0.05; 10.6±7.6% vs. 3.3±4.4%, p<0.01, respectively) and significant negative correlation was found between SBA and the percentage uncovered struts at both SO and VW regions (r=–0.55, p<0.01; r=–0.47, p<0.05, respectively). In KBT group, the percentage of uncovered struts was not significant difference between lesions with SBA≦60°and those with SBA>60°at both SO and VW region (36.7±35.3% vs. 36.6±34.8%; 10.9±10.4% vs. 8.6±12.7%, respectively) and no correlation was found between SBA and the percentage of uncovered struts at both SO and VW region. Conclusions: The neointimal coverage of DES was affected by in bifurcation lesion without KBT, but is not affected in bifurcation lesion with KBT. KBT has potential benefit for neointimal coverage of DES at coronary bifurcation lesion with narrow SBA.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of the paclitaxel-coated, self-expanding, nitinol Stentys Stent System in tibioperoneal lesions ≤50 mm long. Methods: The prospective, single-arm, multicenter PES-BTK-70 trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01630070) evaluated the safety and efficacy of the coronary Stentys Stent System in the treatment of a stenotic or occlusive lesion ≤50 mm long in the tibioperoneal arteries of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Between January 2012 and May 2013, 70 patients (mean age 74.6±9.4 years; 45 men) with CLI [Rutherford category 4 (37, 52.9%) or 5 (33, 47.1%)] received a Stentys drug-eluting stent for the treatment of infrapopliteal stenosis (60, 85.7%) or occlusion (10, 14.3%). The mean lesion length was 17.2 mm (4.0–58.5). The primary outcome measures were primary patency at 6 months (duplex ultrasound) and 12 months (angiography). Secondary outcomes included limb salvage and freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR). Kaplan-Meier estimates of the outcomes are given with the 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Technical and procedure success (<30% residual stenosis without major complications) was achieved in 68 (97.1%) of 70 cases. Primary patency was 87.6% (95% CI 83.5% to 91.7%) at 6 months and 72.6% (95% CI 66.9% to 78.3%) at 1 year. Freedom from TLR was 79.1% at 1 year (95% CI 73.9% to 84.3) and limb salvage was 98.5% (95% CI 97.0 to 100.0). No stent fractures were found by core laboratory review of all follow-up imaging data available up to 12 months. Conclusion: In this study, the self-expanding, nitinol, paclitaxel-eluting, coronary Stentys stent was found to be safe and effective in the below-the-knee region, with results similar to the most recent limus-eluting stent trials.

Abstract Background:Drug-coated balloon (DCB) is a new technology that has emerged in recent years, and it has been proven to be effective and safe in the treatment of restenosis in the stent. The purpose of this article is to observe the safety and effectiveness of drug-coated balloons in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: A total of 80 patients who were admitted to our department due to STEMI from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected. The subjects were randomly divided into drug-coated balloon treatment group (balloon group, n=38) and drug-eluting stent (DES) treatment group (stent group, n=42). The patients were followed up for 1 year to understand the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after operation. Coronary angiography was reexamined at 1 year after operation to understand the late lumen loss (LLL) of the two groups. Results: At the 1-year follow-up, the target lesion LLL in the balloon group was (−0.12±0.46) mm, while the target lesion in the stent group was (0.14±0.37) mm (P<0.05). Within 1 year, the incidence of MACEs in the balloon group was 11%, and the incidence of MACEs in the stent group was 12%. There was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: DCB therapy alone is safe and effective when PCI is performed for STEMI, and it shows good clinical results during the 1-year follow-up period.
