Intravascular stents

N J Lembo et al. Cardiol Clin. 1989 Nov.

Abstract

Restenosis and/or acute closure continue to affect at least one third of all patients undergoing coronary angioplasty; pharmacologic and mechanical methods are therefore being developed to prevent this. The current information on intravascular stents is reviewed and the potential for this device to impact on acute closure and restenosis discussed.
