Full description
• Drug-eluting stents (DES) represent a key advance in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) owing to their ability to inhibit neointimal proliferation, which lowers the need for repeat revascularisation However, older-generation DES have been shown to increase the risk of late restenosis and stent thrombosis. Efforts to reduce these risks include improvements in stent platforms, polymer carriers, and drug selection. Thinner struts reduce vessel wall injury, decrease inflammation and promote fast endothelialisation.The second-generation thin-strut DES have been shown to reduce the risk of restenosis, stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction (MI) or possibly death when compared with older-generation DES or bare metal stents. Moreover, the newer generation of biodegradable polymer stents has the potential to reduce the inflammatory reaction of the arterial wall and minimise the risk of late restenosis and thrombus formation More recently, ultra-thin (<70 μm) DES have been shown to improve outcomes further compared with second-generation DES.The BioMime™ (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Vapi, India) is an ultra-thin sirolimus-eluting coronary stent (SES) with an established preliminary safety and efficacy record in the previous meriT-1, meriT-2, meriT-3 and meriT-4 trials in treating single de novo and complex lesions.The BioMime is an ultra-thin strut (65 µm) SES that uses a cobalt-chromium platform with a unique hybrid design of open cells in the mid segment and closed cells at the edges which lead to Lesser Edge Dissections during expansion and Adequate Side Branch Access, coated with biocompatible and bioabsorbable polymers, PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) and PLGA (poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid) for Faster Healing
