Coronary Stents

چکیده
A coronary stent is stainless tube with slots. It is mounted on a balloon catheter in a "crimped" or collapsed state. When the balloon of is inflated, the stent expands or opens up and pushes itself against the inner wall of the coronary artery. This holds the artery open when the balloon is deflated and removed. Coronary artery stents were designed to overcome some of the short comings of angioplasty. Angioplasty is a technique that is used to dilate an area of arterial blockage with the help of a catheter with an inflatable, small, sausage-shaped balloon at its tip. Although introduced over two decades ago, angioplasty continues to be the most frequently employed procedure in the cardiac cath lab (either by its self, or in conjunction with other procedures such as coronary stenting).

متن کاملSelf-expanding Coronary Stents: Rationale, Clinical Status, Future Prospects
The mechanical treatment of coronary artery stenoses by placement of balloon-expandable (Bx) coronary stents has become the most widely used invasive treatment for symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the mechanical properties of Bx stents may be limited and are frequently not well adapted to the requirements of the biological system. Consequently, there is evidence that the mech...

متن کاملClinical utility of platinum chromium bare-metal stents in coronary heart disease
Coronary stents represent a key development for the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease since the introduction of percutaneous coronary intervention. While drug-eluting stents gained wide acceptance in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention practice, further developments in bare-metal stents remain crucial for patients who are not candidates for drug-eluting stents, or to ...
