TCT-608 A New Thin-Strut, Low-Dose, Sirolimus-Eluting Stent With Abluminal-Only Biodegradable Polymeric Coating: Safety and Efficacy Clinical Performance of the Inspiron™ Stent in High-Risk Patients
The new Inspiron™ (Scitech, Brazil) is a thin-strut (75 μm) cobalt-chromium stent, abluminally coated with a thin (4.4 μg) PLA-PLGA polymeric layer, eluted with low-dose sirolimus. The present study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy profile of the novel drug-eluting-stent in a very high-
Background ::: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a feasible technique that provides comparable results to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, despite the theoretical advantages of minor wound complications and cosmetic results, SILC usually requires a larger incision, which may increase the incidence of incisional hernias. This study evaluated SILC and standard multiport cholecystectomy with respect to perioperative outcomes, hospital stay, cosmetic results, and postoperative complications, including the 5-year incisional hernia rate.
