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
