Synopsis Describes the pharmacologic basis of anti-proliferative stent coatings. Contains balanced coverage of alternative therapeutic options such as bare-metal stents. Provides comprehensive coverage of post-operative management. This new text-atlas provides an update on the latest advances in the use of coated or drug-eluting stents in the management of coronary artery disease. The book begins with a review of the mechanisms of in-stent restenosis and the pharmacologic basis of anti-proliferative stent coatings, and the latest on materials used in the construction of the stents themselves. It presents updates on recent clinical trials of alternative therapies and clinical experience of drug-eluting stents. With a focus on patient selection and post-operative management including anti-platelet and anti-coagulation therapy, it concludes with the use of drug-eluting stents and the implications for healthcare policies.
