Stents selection and optimal implantation: sizes, design, deployment
Stent classification: Mechanism of expansion - Self-expanding - Balloon expandable Design - Mesh structure - Coil - Slotted tube - Ring Composition - Stainless steel - Cobalt based alloy - Tantalum - Nitinol - Inert coating - Active coating - Biodegradable - Multidesign - Custom design 2
Stent Types Self-expanding Stent placed under a sheath Sheath retraction allows stent expansion Balloon-expandable Factory mounted on a balloon delivery system 3
Stent Types 4
Stent Types - Composition - The stainless steel is the most frequently used material, which is proved to be the most reliable based to clinical trials. - Nowadays cobalt-chromium alloys are more and more frequently used. 5
Stent Types - Composition - The peripheral stents are made of nickel-titanium alloys (nitinol). - The biodegradable stents made of magnesium are in trial phase. 6
Stent Manufacturing - Coronary stents are commonly manufactured from tube by laser cutting. - Other manufacturing processes are coiling, spinning or looping from wire. 7
Stent Terminology Self expanding Balloon expandable Stent strut Stent crowns and connectors Stent patterns, closed and open cells Metal-to-artery ratio Unsupported surface area Vessel scaffolding Foreshortening Flexibility and conformability Radiopacity Self-expanding vs. Balloonexpandable Balloon outside the stent / Overhang Stent jail Apposition / Expansion Recoil Radial strength 8
Ideal Stent Flexibility & conformability Good scaffolding High radial strength with minimal recoil Good visibility Minimal foreshortening Side-branch accessibility Appropriate metal-to-artery ratio Biocompatibility Optimal stent delivery system Variety of sizes and lengths 9
What about Technique? You can have a perfect stent but if you don t use a good technique you may as well throw it in the rubbish 10
Avoid under-expansion In BMS bigger is better was the rule In DES under-expansion is still the most important cause of stent faillure. BMS Cypher Taxus Endeavor 11
Good Technique Plaque preparation Adequate implantation pressure Post-dilatation 12
Plaque preparation Balloons Semi compliant High pressure Especial balloons Rotablation 13
Be careful when implanting stents without pre-dilatation!!! Not well expanded implanted stent 45 yearsfemale, smoker as only risk factor?? Proximal LAD 14
Can we follow chart instructions? DES achieved only 75% of manufacturer predicted diameter and 66% of predicted stent area. 24% of SES and 28% of PES did not achieve a final MSA of 5 mm 2 15
Post-dilatation Be generous In Postdilating Stents! 16
Why Post-dilatation? We cannot accurately predict stent expansion by angiography, so one should Iterative IVUS can be be used to to fine-tune the the final MSA during stent implantation - - Angio cannot Be generous postdilating even in very small residual stent stenosis QCA QCA MLD MLD (mm) (mm) 4 4 3.0 3.0 3.1 3.1 3.1 3.1 3 32.5 2.5 2 2 p<0.05 p<0.05 p=ns p=ns p=ns p=ns 1 1 0 0 8ATM 8ATM 12ATM 12ATM 15ATM 15ATM 18ATM 18ATM IVUS IVUS Stent Stent CSA CSA (mm (mm 2 )* 2 )* 12 10 10 7.7 7.7 8 8 6 4 2 0 12 6 4 2 9.2 9.2 10.1 10.1 10.9 10.9 p<0.05 p<0.05 p<0.05 p<0.05 p<0.05 p<0.05 0 8ATM 8ATM 12ATM 12ATM 15ATM 15ATM 18ATM 18ATM *ANOVA P<0.0001 Comparation of IVUS and QCA post stent + adjunt PTCA Iterative angio and IVUS a different atm 17

Mortality in RCTs comparing DES vs BMS Conclusion Drug-eluting stents for the treatment of coronary artery disease do not reduce total mortality when compared with bare metal stents. Preliminary evidence suggests that sirolimus- but not paclitaxel-eluting stents may lead to increased non-cardiac mortality. Long-term follow-up and assessment of cause-specific deaths in patients receiving drug-eluting stents is mandatory to determine the long-term safety of these devices. 23 Source: Nordmann AJ et al, Eur Heart J Oct 2006

SUMMARY 51
DES represent an unique step forward We did not pay sufficient attention to possible complications: only placebo has almost no complications! Efforts should concentrate to prevent: early thrombosis-technique and antiplatelets late thrombosis-innovative solutions and further understanding DES allow treatment of more complex lesions with less immediate and late complications (personal opinion!)
