One of the most significant innovations in cardiovascular stents is the development of thinner struts. Thin struts reduce the size of the stent and improve flexibility, making it easier to insert and reducing the risk of complications. Thinner struts also reduce the amount of metal in the stent, reducing the risk of blood clots and inflammation.

Another important innovation is the use of biodegradable polymers in stent coatings. Biodegradable polymers break down over time, reducing the risk of complications associated with the long-term presence of foreign materials in the body. In some cases, polymer-free coatings are also used to reduce inflammation and other complications.

Dual-drug coatings are another innovation in stent design. These coatings are used in drug-eluting stents and contain two different medications, which improve efficacy and reduce the risk of complications. These dual-drug coatings are especially effective in preventing the reblockage of the vessel.

In addition to these innovations, there are also different types of stents available to patients. Bare metal stents, the first generation of stents, provide structural support to the vessel but don't have any medication coatings to prevent reblockage. Drug-eluting stents are coated with medication to prevent restenosis (reblockage) of the vessel, and bioresorbable stents are made of materials that can be absorbed by the body over time. Covered stents are another type of stent that has a membrane covering to help prevent reblockage and reduce the risk of complications.

The market for cardiovascular stents is dominated by major players like Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic. These companies are constantly innovating and developing new stents to improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of complications. The use of cardiovascular stents is not limited to one particular condition, and they are used in the treatment of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, heart attacks, and more.

In conclusion, cardiovascular stents have revolutionized the treatment of heart disease and related conditions. With ongoing research and development, we can expect to see even more innovative stent designs in the future, improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of complications. The constant evolution of cardiovascular stents underscores the importance of innovation and investment in medical research to develop new technologies that can help save lives.

My Visit to the Cardiologist

This article was originally posted on February 14, 2019 on a blogsite I shared with my "Zipper Buddies", Natasha and Elton.

I distinctly remember my Cardiologist Dr Marty telling me in February 2011, that he didn’t need to see me any more. In October 2018, I found out that I should still have a yearly check-up. Who knew? I should have!

As someone who was the recipient of his fifth stent following a heart attack in April 2010, I should have known better. Since my last visit in 2011, I had cycled with other heart patients through Vietnam and Cambodia to raise funds for the Epworth Foundation. I should have done a better job of looking after myself. Visiting Dr Marty should have been right up there.

Having not had a regular checkup for so long, Dr Marty sent me off to have a CT Angiogram. This is where you have a dye injected into your bloodstream and undergo a CT scan. The result of the test was that there were some cardiac arteries that appeared to have some calcium deposits. This resulted in an angiogram the following week.

These days, angiograms are usually done by inserting a catheter into an artery in your wrist. Dr Marty wasn’t confident that the arteries in my arms were suitable, so the catheter was inserted into the femoral artery through my groin. I had all of my five stents inserted through the femoral artery so I knew what to expect.

Patients are usually awake during an angiogram (or angioplasty), but I’m sure that I fell asleep during the procedure as I don’t remember anything about it until I woke up from the pain of the medical team plugging the artery.

Dr Marty just looked at me and said, “You’re going to need a bypass operation”.

Cardiovascular Contributions

This Hispanic Heritage month, it is important to acknowledge the contributions of Hispanics around the world. Many popular inventions have come from Argentinian creators, such as the ballpoint pen, but did you know that two of the greatest contributions to surgical heart health have been created by Argentinians?

Illustration by Sam Newman. Image description: An artistic representation of a stent piercing through a clot and reopening a blood vessel, with small red blood cells going through the stent.

One of these inventions was the balloon-inflatable stent. Julio C. Palmaz created this version of the tube in 1987 to reopen passageways, usually blood vessels blocked by plaque. This has saved the lives of many victims of heart attacks and strokes, to name a few conditions that this creation can treat in emergencies.

Image description: The original prototype of the Liotta-Cooley heart, on display in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History Exhibits.

Another notable contribution of Argentinian origin is the first artificial heart to be used in a human being. Developed by Italian-Argentinian Domingo Liotta and implanted by Denton Cooley in 1969, this device allowed a patient to live for 64 hours before finally receiving a heart transplant.

We should continue to encourage our fellow community members in their ideas and innovations. The future relies on diverse notions, and the continued inventions of such concepts should be given the praise they deserve.

Understanding Cardiovascular Stents

Cardiovascular stents are small, mesh-like devices designed to support and keep the arteries open. They play a pivotal role in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), a condition where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of fatty deposits known as plaque. When these arteries are blocked, it can lead to chest pain (angina) or even a heart attack.

The Stent Procedure

The stent placement procedure, known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or angioplasty, is minimally invasive and typically performed in a catheterization lab. Here's how it works:

Insertion of Catheter: A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel, often in the groin or wrist, and guided through the arteries to the site of the blockage.

Balloon Inflation: A deflated balloon attached to the catheter is inflated at the blockage site. This compresses the plaque and widens the artery, restoring blood flow.

Stent Placement: The stent, which is mounted on a balloon, is then positioned at the narrowed area. When the balloon is inflated, the stent expands, locking into place and keeping the artery open.

Balloon Removal: The balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the stent in place.

Types of Cardiovascular Stents

There are two primary types of cardiovascular stents:

Drug-Eluting Stents (DES): These stents are coated with medications that are slowly released into the artery over time. These drugs help prevent the artery from re-narrowing (restenosis) by inhibiting cell growth. DES are often preferred for complex lesions.

Bare-Metal Stents (BMS): These stents are uncoated and are typically used in simpler blockages. While they are effective at holding the artery open, they may have a slightly higher risk of restenosis compared to DES.

Advancements in Cardiovascular Stents

Reduced Risk of Thrombosis: Advanced stent designs and coatings have significantly reduced the risk of stent thrombosis, a potentially life-threatening complication.

Enhanced Biocompatibility: The development of stents that mimic the body's natural response to injury has improved biocompatibility, reducing the likelihood of adverse reactions.

Enhanced Drug Delivery: Drug-eluting stents have seen significant advancements, with improved drug formulations and coatings that optimize therapeutic outcomes and reduce complications.

In conclusion, cardiovascular stents have come a long way, and their continued evolution is a testament to the commitment of medical researchers and engineers to enhance heart health. As we move forward, these innovations hold the promise of further improving the lives of individuals battling cardiovascular disease, ensuring that more hearts keep beating strong.
