Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study conducted in two sites from January of 2011 to February of 2014. Populational characteristics, procedure-related data, and radiologic imaging were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 1 year. Morbidity and mortality rates, complication rates, and stent patency rates were obtained. Results: A total of 13 male patients, mean age 66 ± 9 years, were submitted to popliteal artery aneurysm treatment in 15 limbs. Run-off vessel evaluation showed that most patients had at least two patent arteries in the legs (92.3%). Stents were implanted in the middle segment in 57.1% and in the distal segment of the popliteal artery in 42.9% of the procedures. Target lesion revascularization was achieved in all of the cases and two stents were required in four limbs. Seventeen ViabahnTM and two MultilayerTM stents were used.

This study evaluated the 9-month angiographic follow-up and long-term clinical outcomes of biodegradable polymer-coated drug-eluting stents compared with identical platform metallic stents in patients with high-risk for restenosis. Methods: Patients with a reference diameter ≤ 2.5 mm, lesion length ≥ 15 mm, diabetes, or a combination of these characteristics were selected from the population of the PAINT trial. These patients were previously randomized and allocated for percutaneous coronary intervention with either a sirolimus-eluting biodegradable polymer-coated stent, a paclitaxel-eluting biodegradable polymer-coated stent, or an identical metallic platform stent, at a ratio of 2:2:1.

Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the device implantation and serum levels of nickel. Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal observational study conducted at a public hospital. Patients undergoing percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion were clinically evaluated using transthoracic echocardiography and peripheral vein blood sampling for serum nickel before and after (1 day, 1 and 3 months) implantation. Results: The procedure and subsequent examinations were successfully performed in ten patients, with mean age of 34.4 years (range 5 to 60 years). Serial echocardiography confirmed the maintenance of adequate results of the procedure. Patients did not show manifestations that might suggest a reaction to metal, such as skin rash, dyspnea, thoracic discomfort, palpitations or migraine. Serum nickel levels did not show any significant changes and remained within the normal range for the population, according to the dosing methods within 3 months of the procedure.
