ELLIS Study: Comparative Analysis of Excimer Laser Coronary Angioplasty and Intravascular Lithotripsy on Drug-Eluting Stent as Assessed by Scanning Electron Microscopy
IVL and saline-ELCA applied immediately after stent implantation produce minimal polymer damage, whereas high-pressure balloon dilatation and contrast-ELCA cause significant damage to the polymer coating. The integrity of polymer-free drug-eluting stent appears stable regardless of the technique used. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore their clinical implications.
