Successful implantation of a novel polymer-free everolimus-eluting stent using nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide film with good patency on follow-up angiography: A case report
Abstract:Rationale:
Despite technological advances in interventional cardiology during the last decades, many concerns remain regarding the narrowing and occlusion of the in-stent area. Particularly, polymer materials pose several problems, including chronic arterial inflammation, impaired arterial healing, and stent thrombosis. To avoid these complications, we invented the TIGEREVOLUTION stent with a cobalt–chromium alloy-based stent platform deposited with N-TiO2 film, which has demonstrated good biocompatibility.
