Second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) are considered standard of care for revascularization of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Besides the polymer and antiproliferative drug used, the metallic backbone of DES is an attractive target for further development. Ultrathin-strut DES (≤70 μm strut thickness) are more flexible, have an improved trackability and crossability compared to conventional second-generation DES. Importantly, ultrathin-strut DES reduce the risk of in-stent restenosis, thereby decreasing the risk of angiographic and clinical restenosis. In this narrative review, we will discuss the clinical outcomes of the commercially available ultrathin-strut DES.
第二代药物洗脱支架(DES)被认为是接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗患者血运重建的标准治疗方法。除了所使用的聚合物和抗增殖药物外,DES的金属骨架也是进一步研发的一个有吸引力的目标。与传统的第二代DES相比,超薄支柱DES(支柱厚度≤70μm)更灵活,具有更好的跟踪性和通过性。重要的是,超薄支柱DES降低了支架内再狭窄的风险,从而降低了血管造影和临床再狭窄的风险。在这篇叙述性综述中,我们将讨论市售超薄支柱DES的临床结果。
