Abstract

A major consideration in the reduction of early stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis is the improvement of biocompatibility of the devices. Diamond-like carbon is a novel material for coating stent surfaces in order to increase biocompatibility. The authors report on the endovascular treatment of two individuals with superficial femoral artery occlusions, using stents coated with diamond-like carbon. Technical and clinical success was achieved in both cases, with primary patency rates of 100% 12 months after intervention.
