Comparative Analysis of the Paclitaxel-Eluting Peripheral Igaki-Tamai Stent and the Drug-Free Igaki-Tamai Stent Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Histological Analysis in a Porcine Iliac Artery Model.

CONCLUSIONS: PTX-ITSs showed significantly better suppression of late scaffold shrinkage and lower in-scaffold stenosis for up to 3 months. Additionally, PTX-ITSs exhibited high biocompatibility, which is comparable to ITSs. PMID: 32238644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
