What does des mean in cardiology?

When was the Cordis CYPHER Coronary Artery Stent approved by the FDA?
The drug-eluting coronary artery stent, the Cordis CYPHER, made by CYPHER, a Johnson & Johnson company, became the first coated stent approved by the FDA in April 2003.
How long does the medicine last in a cordis cypher stent?
The drug-eluting Cordis Cypher stent releases its medication over a period of approximately 30 to 90 days after implantation. The stent is designed to gradually deliver the drug, sirolimus, to the surrounding tissue to help prevent restenosis (re-narrowing of the artery). While the drug is most effective in the initial months, the stent itself remains in the body permanently.
Who invented coronary stents?
Julio Palmaz, an interventional vascular radiologist, is known for inventing the balloon-expandable stent, for which he received a patent filed in 1985.
How long should a patient take Plavix after a myocardial infarction?
depends on the stent if its drug eluting (coated with stuff that works like teflon) or if its a bare metal stent. bare metal stents usally require plavix for a year, drug eluting at least 3 months. but this is usually up to the cardiologist. and a lot of cardiologist prefer to keep to patients on plavix indefinitely as a precaution. But its expensive stuff and if u lost ur insurance or are in the medicare doughnut hole dont be afraid to ask your Dr if its time to to discontinue it.

Are all arteries lined with endothelium?
Yes. The only time that I can think of that there would be a break in an artery's endothelium is when a bit gets damaged, like with turbulent (disorganised) blood flow over an atheromatous (fatty) plaque that forms in the intima of the artery wall (there are many layers to an artery wall, the intima is one of them). Also, when a person gets a stent put in an artery to open up a narrowed bit (like when you have unstable angina) these stents can be "drug eluting" stents that stop the endothelium of the vessel from growing over the stent. Essentially, everything in the body that has a connection to the outside world (your skin, eyes, digestive tract, respiratory tract, urinary tract and reproductive tract) is lined with an epithelium. Everything inside the body that is hollow (blood vessels, lymph vessels, the heart's chambers, the ventricles in the brain) as well as the surface of most organs are lined with endothelium.
Stent?
DefinitionA stent is a tiny tube placed into an artery, blood vessel, or other duct (such as one that carries urine) to hold the structure open.Alternative NamesDrug-eluting stents; Urinary or ureteral stents; Coronary stentsDescriptionWhen a stent is placed into the body, the procedure is called stenting. There are different kinds of stents. Most are made of a metal or plastic mesh-like material. However, stent grafts are made of fabric. They are used in larger arteries.An intraluminal coronary artery stent is a small, self-expanding, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery after balloon angioplasty to prevent the artery from re-closing.A drug-eluting stent is coated with a medicine that helps further prevent the arteries from re-closing. Like other coronary stents, it is left permanently in the artery.Why the Procedure Is PerformedMost of the time, stents are used to treat conditions that result when arteries become narrow or blocked. The devices are also used to unblock and keep open other tube-shaped structures in the body, including the bile ducts, the ureters (the tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder) and bronchi (the small airways in the lungs).Stents are commonly used to treat the following conditions that result from blocked or damaged blood vessels:Coronary heart disease (CHD) (angioplasty and stent placement - heart)Peripheral artery disease (angioplasty and stent replacement - peripheral arteries)Renal artery stenosisAbdominal aortic aneurysm (aortic aneurysm repair - endovascular)Carotid artery disease (carotid artery surgery)Other reasons to use stents include:Keeping open a blocked or damage ureter (percutaneous urinary procedures)Treating aneurysms, including thoracic aortic aneurysmsKeeping bile flowing in blocked bile ducts (biliary stricture)Helping you breathe if you have a blockage in the airwaysRisksSee also:Angioplasty and stent placement - heartAngioplasty and stent placement - peripheral arteriesPercutaneous urinary proceduresTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)Carotid artery surgeryAortic aneurysm repair - endovascularThoracic aortic aneurysmReferencesTeirstein PS.
