Drug-eluting stents for coronary artery disease: A review

Abstract: a b s t r a c tOver the past decade the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs) has revolutionised the treatment of coronary artery disease. However, in recent years concern has arisen over the long-term safety and efficacy of DESs due to the occurrence of late adverse clinical events such as stent thrombosis. With this concern in mind, research and development is currently centred on increasing the long-term safety and efficacy of DESs. The aim of this paper is to provide a thorough review of currently app… Show more

“…Firstly, though current-generation coronary stents are primarily manufactured from high-strength metallic alloys, such as cobalt-chromium, 56 the six investigated stents in D. MARTIN AND F. BOYLE this study were each assigned the properties of stainless steel. As such, the results and conclusions of this study cannot be extrapolated to current-generation devices.…”
