Drug-eluting stents (DES), which locally elute antiproliferative drugs, can dramatically inhibit neointimal growth. However, several pathological studies have indicated that DES may delay healing after vascular injury, and DES implantation may be theoretically associated with a risk of coronary artery aneurysm formation. Coronary aneurysms have been reported from 3 days to up to 4 years after DES implantation procedures, with varying clinical presentations. The incidence of coronary artery aneurysms after DES implantation is low within the first 9 months, with a reported incidence of 0.2% to 2.3%, a rate similar to that reported after bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation (0.3% to 3.9%) in the DES versus BMS randomized trials. However, the true incidence of coronary aneurysms in an unselected patient population is still largely unknown. This article reviews the published literature on coronary artery aneurysms specifically relating to DES.

Nonvalvular intravascular devices are in widespread use in developed countries and are now more commonly employed than are prosthetic cardiac valves. Although the variety of devices that are included in the category of "nonvalvular" represent a heterogenous collection, there is commonality among several of the devices. This includes their requirement to sustain life and the need for removal for cure if they become infected, which is often due to multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Thus, infection of these devices often presents difficult treatment scenarios. This update will address the pathogenesis and immunobiology of nonvalvular intravascular device-related infections and the epidemiology and treatment of infections of several of these devices that include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, intravascular catheters, vascular grafts and stents, and left ventricular assist devices.
