1. In a first study of its kind, researchers in Japan using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging found that patients with unstable and stable angina have markedly different vascular responses to drug-eluting stents, and that those with unstable angina have greater risk of certain complications. The findings, however, were not associated with adverse outcomes in patients taking dual-antiplatelet therapy. While sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) reduce the need for target-vessel revasculariz (Read Full Article)
