What is cardiac BMS?
BMS: bare-metal stent; DES: drug-eluting stent; MACE: major adverse cardiac events; MI: myocardial infarction; TVR: target vessel revascularization; ST: stent thrombosis.
What is the difference between DES and BMS?
Background. Drug-eluting stents (DES) compared to bare metal stents (BMS) have shown superior clinical performance, but are considered less suitable in complex cases. Most studies do not distinguish between DES and BMS with respect to their mechanical performance.
What is BMS implantation?
Compared with balloon angioplasty, implantation of a bare metal stent (BMS) results in a lower rate of reocclusion and restenosis. Nevertheless, rates of target vessel revascularization after BMS implantation in patients with AMI range from 7 to 15%.
What is the difference between bare metal stents and drug-eluting stents?
Bare-metal stents (BMS) reduce the risk of re-occlusion and re-infarction after PCI,2,3 whereas early generation drug-eluting stents (DES) further decrease the risk of restenosis and target lesion revascularization without increasing the incidence of death or myocardial infarction in a broad spectrum of patients.
What drug is in drug-eluting stent?
The first drug-eluting stents to be approved in Europe and the U.S. were coated with paclitaxel or an mTOR inhibitor, such as sirolimus….

What drug is used in drug-eluting stents?
Paclitaxel-eluting or sirolimus-eluting stents to prevent restenosis in diabetic patients. N Engl J Med.
Why do we use drug-eluting stents?
A stent is a small mesh tube put into an artery to keep it open. A drug-eluting stent is coated with a slow-release medication to help prevent blood clots from forming in a stent. Blood clotting in a stent can cause a future blockage (restenosis) and may lead to a heart attack.
Can you take an antiplatelet and anticoagulant together?
Following percutaneous coronary interventions, antiplatelet drugs are required to prevent in-stent thrombosis. In-stent thrombosis has a mortality of 50–70%,3 so the use of one or two antiplatelet drugs together with an anticoagulant is often required. However, such combinations increase the risk of bleeding.
When do you stop dual antiplatelet therapy after a stent?
Based on the 2016 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines,1 in patients at high bleeding risk with a second-generation drug-eluting stent, discontinuing DAPT is safe after 3 months in patients with stable ischemic heart disease, and after 6 months in patients with an acute coronary syndrome …
Is angiogram same as heart cath?
A cardiac angiogram, more commonly called a Cardiac Catheterization or a Heart Cath, outlines the heart arteries. Angiograms that outline the neck arteries are called Carotid Angiograms. Outlining the blood supply to the kidneys is called a Renal Angiogram.
What drug is released in drug-eluting stent?
The stent is usually placed within the peripheral or coronary artery by an interventional cardiologist or interventional radiologist during an angioplasty procedure. An example of a drug-eluting stent. This is the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System, which releases paclitaxel.
What drug is used in a drug-eluting stent?
What are the different types of drug-eluting stents?
Current-generation DES include everolimus-eluting stents (EES), zotarolimus-eluting stents (R-ZES]), ridaforolimus-eluting stents (RES), and two bioresorbable polymer DES (SYNERGY and Orsiro). We do not prefer one type of stent over another; each as a similar safety and efficacy profile.
