Advantages and disadvantages of coronary drug-eluting stent: a 23-year journey of randomized clinical trials by Alfredo E. Rodriguez, Juan Mieres, Juan M. Rokos

“…However, that should be counterbalanced by the high incidence of spontaneous MI mainly due to early neo-atherosclerosis with DES. The finding of a high incidence of non-cardiac death observed in DES trials compared to coronary artery bypass grafting and optimal medical treatment is disturbing, and the reasons are unknown. …”

Virgin and photo-degraded microplastics induce the activation of human vascular smooth muscle cells by Elisa Persiani, Antonella Cecchettini, Sofia Amato, Elisa Ceccherini, Ilaria Gisone, Agnese Sgalippa, Chiara Ippolito, Valter Castelvetro, Tommaso Lomonaco, Federico Vozzi

“…Since vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are crucial to maintaining vascular function, this study examined how MPs activate VSMCs, leading to cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. The study used polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS), common in food packaging, as “virgin” or photo-degraded to simulate environmental conditions. …”
