Abstract
|
|
|
|
Coronary artery disease is one of the principal causes of mortality worldwide. Andreas Gruntzig initially developed balloon angioplasty to treat the condition. Coronary stenting was first used in the mid-1980s to prevent abrupt vessel closure and restenosis. Stent material and design have received a great deal of attention over the past 30 years. Modern polymer stents feature antiproliferative coatings. Recently, a bioresorbable stent scaffold was introduced. This article focuses on the current status of coronary stents, especially with respect to certain aspects of clinical practice.
