Malapposed Struts with Cre8, Biomatrix, and Xience Stents Assessed with OCT Immediately after Implantation and at 6-Month Follow-Up: Can the Different Biomechanical Characteristics... by Cristina Giglioli, Emanuele Cecchi, Chiara Formentini, Marco Chiostri, Niccolò Marchionni, Salvatore Mario Romano

“…Although the clinical effects of stent malapposition remain controversial, several analyses of stent registries consistently have found that malapposed struts were frequently identified in patients who experienced stent thrombosis. In this study, which is a subanalysis of the previously published CREBX-OCT study, we compared optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis at the index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and at six-month follow-up in 37 patients randomly assigned to receive, by a single operator, three different second-generation drug-eluting stents (Cre8, Biomatrix, and Xience) aiming to clarify if the malapposition observed at six-month follow-up was persistent or late-acquired. …”

Optimal Revascularization Strategy on Medina 0,1,0 Left Main Bifurcation Lesions in Type 2 Diabetes by Xuwei Zheng, Hongyu Peng, Donghui Zhao, Qin Ma, Kun Fu, Guo Chen, Qian Fan, Jinghua Liu

“…We use idealized left main bifurcation models and computational fluid dynamics analysis to evaluate hemodynamic parameters which are known to affect the risk of restenosis and thrombosis at stented bifurcation. The surface integrals of time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI) at bifurcation site were quantified. …”
