Named Firehawk, the drug-eluting stent was developed by MicroPort Scientific Corporation, a Chinese healthcare company, to treat patients with coronary artery disease. The metal stent is 86 microns thick, which is roughly the diameter of a human hair. It contains drugs in micro grooves engraved ...

coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for LMCA have been major topics for both interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. CABG has been considered as the standard treatment modality for these patients, but as stent design, procedural technique and adjunctive medical therapy have improved, PCI...
After the stent produced by cardiac stent companies is implanted into the body, with the extension of time (a few months to a year), the cells on the coronary artery will grow and migrate, and finally cover the surface of the whole stent, making the stent a part of the human blood ves...
The coronary arteries supply oxygenated, and nutrient filled blood to the heart muscle. There are two main coronary arteries: theright coronary arteryandleft coronary artery. Other arteries diverge from these two main arteries and extend to the apex (bottom portion) of the heart. ...
This expands the artery and improves blood flow. In some cases, a stent may also be placed during angioplasty. A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that helps to keep the artery open and improve blood flow. Angioplasty is often used to treat coronary artery disease, and it can be ...
Due to the lower rate of restenosis after stenting in the native coronary artery, we suggest that coronary stenting be considered an acceptable, first intention therapeutic option instead of angioplasty alone whenever possible.关键词: Coronary artery stenosis stent heart transplanta tion Stent heart ...
A plastic tube, or a sheath is inserted into an artery in your groin or wrist. The catheter is threaded through the veins and to the block artery, carrying with it the balloon and the stent. The balloon is inflated, which compresses the plaque around the artery, while exp...
