Sci Page 8 THE BATTALION Wednesday, September^ Wednesda Tubes keep arteries cleai STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — A inetal tube that opens clogged arteries and keeps them clear by releasing medication was hailed by doctors Tuesday as a poten tial breakthrough in fighting heart disease. Experts predict the device, an improved version of the conventional stents already used to keep arteries open, will eliminate the need for repeat angioplasties and could spare some patients the trauma, risk and prolonged recovery associated with heart bypass surgery. A study of 238 patients in Europe and Latin America, presented Tuesday at a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Stockholm, found that while the arteries closed up again in 26 percent of patients who got a regular stent, there was no narrowing in any patient who got the drug-coated device. Also, 97 percent of the patients who got the new stent, called Cypher, had no further heart trouble in the following six months, compared with 73 percent of the others. “We are probably witnessing a new era in the treatment of coronary disease,” said the study’s lead investigator. Dr. Marie- Claude Morice, head of interventional car diology at the Jacques Cartier Hospital Institute in Massy, France. Among angioplasty doctors, enthusiasm ran high. Dr. Wim van der Giessen, a Dutch cardiology professor who was not involved in the study, predicted the new stent could eventually be used in other blood vessels and for bigger blockages. Those patients are now treated with drugs or surgery. “It’s very convincing. It’s a definite breakthrough,” said Dr. Philip Urban of r 90 percent* ruerv. less ii VIII .in disease. vj rry with a and inf vessel FBI 1 I n the w' recent i found t: Mb Donald tious like i the world’ ice retailei Latour just imenen _ ■rfering with the disease.
