Safety and efficacy of drug eluting stents in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection

European Society of Cardiology, acute cardiovascular care association, SCAD study group: a position paper on spontaneous coronary artery dissection

“…Significant rates of in-stent restenosis are reported in one retrospective series [23/44 target vessel revascularization (TVR) from 87 patients managed by PCI and followed-up for a median 2.3 years], although the drug elution status of the stents used is not described. 3 In a recent retrospective multicentre study of 238 SCAD patients, 176 108 underwent PCI with DES or bare metal stents (BMS). Overall, 24 patients (22.2%) suffered procedural-related complications.…”

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the clinical characteristics and outcomes of spontanous coronary artery dissection

“…After title and abstract evaluation, full text revision of the remaining 106 articles excluded 87 for a lack of adequate follow-up data, leaving 19 studies for inclusion in the final analysis ( Supplementary Fig. 1) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Table 1 shows the prevalence meta-analyses for clinical characteristics from the included studies.…”

Endovascular Stenting of Vertebral Artery Dissection in Acute Ischemic Stroke

“…[12] A study by Conrotto et al describes the safety and the efficacy of DES in spontaneous coronary artery dissection. [13] They reviewed a group of 60 patients treated with DES, 70% with a 2nd generation and 30% with a 1st generation DES, and a group of 48 patients treated with BMS in their multicenter retrospective study. There was no significant difference in complication rate during and one month after the procedure between the two groups.…”
