• EuroIntervention. 2007 Feb;2(4):512-7.Late stent thrombosis: the Damocle's sword of drug eluting stents?Rodriguez AE, Rodriguez-Granillo GA, Palacios IF.Otamendi Hospital, Interventional Cardiology Department, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
• AbstractAs a result of the introduction of drug eluting stents (DES) to clinical practice, angiographic and clinical parameters of restenosis have been significantly improved. However, several recent publications have raised concerns about long-term safety of this technology. They include a potential risk of inducing chronic inflammation within the coronary artery, delayed healing and late stent thrombosis.Recently, late stent thrombosis, a rare but often life threatening event, has been reported to occur more frequently following DES placement. The mechanism of this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated.What is the true incidence of stent thrombosis after DES therapy? Is it similar or higher than with bare metal stents? Are randomised trials with DES therapy overestimating the benefits of this therapy? Which are the potential limitations of these studies? Are DES increasing rates of death and myocardial infarction from randomised trials and registries a true fact? In the following pages we review recently reported data about DES suggesting potential safety concerns associated with the current widespread use of DES.PMID: 19755294 [PubMed - in process]

EucatechEucatech Dual coating technology Dual coating technologyEffective reduction of neointimal hyperplasia due to Paclitaxel anti-proliferative drug and an effective drug release within 8 to 10 weeks. The Paclitaxel is incorporated in a full short term degradable biological PLGA matrix with a low dose drug content and a no inflammatory reaction.PLGA (Poly lactide-co glycolide) decompensades to carbon dioxide and water.
Base layer Camouflage® a full biological, athrombogenic coating provides long term protection and promotes re-endothelization of the stent. Camouflage® is a mimicry of the natural arterial glycocalix.This results in a short term antiplatelet treatment.

Goals For Next Generation of DES:
Combining Safety/ Efficacy
All Lesions Meet the Criteria of BeneStent II Definition
• DES designs with Durable and Bio-compatible Polymer eluted with EES (Xience V) demonstrated a significant improvement in terms of safety and efficacy outcome at 2 years of FU compared to PES with durable polymer. Clinically driven TVR, TLR, MI, cardiac death +MI and VLST were significantly reduced at 2 years of FU(SPIRIT III,IV and Compare) in all cormers excluding Diabetics patients.
• DES designs with durable and Bio-compatible polymer eluted with ZES (ENDEAVOR) demonstrated a significant reduction of MI compared to first DES designs (ENDEAVOR III and IV), however, long term efficacy of this stent in complex lesion subsets is difficult to determine by the higher amount of LL observed in the FU angiography.
New DES Designs:
New Technology and New Evidence for Old Problems.
• DES designs with Bio-degradable polymers demonstrated similar safety and efficacy to first DES designs with durable polymers without any advantage in the safety profile at this time of FU (LEADERS and ISAR Test studies).
• Dual coating technology using antithrombotic layer behind the PLGA coating is promising in terms of safety, as suggested by the EUCATAX results, although its value in terms of long term efficacy is questionable (LL) and needs further assessment.
• Finally, complete absorbable stents is the most promising eluted stent technology, although their place in “real world”clinical practice is far to be determined.
