Safety, success, and restenosis after elective coronary implantation of the Palmaz-Schatz stent in 100 patients at a single center

Angiographic and clinical outcome of a new self-expanding intracoronary stent (RADIUS): Results from multicenter experience in Japan

“…There were no significant differences in restenosis among the location of stented lesions in our results. These results are consistent with previous reports [23,24], suggesting that coronary stent- ing is more effective in preventing restenosis in LAD than balloon angioplasty.…”

Effect of gender on outcomes following renal artery stent placement for renovascular hypertension

“…The lack of impact on gender on outcome following renal artery stenting is in contrast to findings seen after coronary interventions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The higher rate of initial complications and in-hospital mortality in women following PTCA persists even after adjustment for age, history of congestive heart failure, diabetes, and multivessel disease [2].…”

“…It is therefore proposed that the difference in outcome between male and female patients following coronary interventions may be related to a difference in coronary artery lumen diameter, which is smaller in women; in part, this difference is related to smaller heart weight [23] or body surface area [24] in women, and it seems to persist even after correction for body size [25]. Differences in outcome between the sexes have been shown following coronary angioplasty as well as stent placement [7] and atherectomy [8][9][10]. Factors which predispose to restenosis following percutaneous revascularization of coronary arteries may not be of etiologic significance in restenosis following percutaneous renal artery revascularization.…”

“…This has been best studied in relation to coronary interventions. As compared to men, women undergoing coronary angioplasty have higher in-hospital mortality [1][2][3], and more peripheral vascular complications [4], while male sex has been identified as an adverse prognostic factor for long-term event-free survival [5], and for restenosis following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [6] as well as coronary stent placement [7]. Additionally, women have a slightly lower success rate and a higher incidence of complications after coronary atherectomy [8][9][10].…”

Clinical and pathological characteristics of homogeneous and nonhomogeneous tissue of in-stent restenosis visualized by optical coherence tomography

“…Smoking may induce a state of chronic organized thrombogenesis in patients with stent implantation [25][26][27].…”
