Coronary stents only temporarily open the "culprit vessel", that is, the most severe stenosis, while the stenosis of other parts still exists. In addition to preventing the rapid development of arteriosclerosis, drug treatment can also prevent complications such as stent thrombosis and restenosis. ha...
Regarding the technical aspects of hybrid stage I palliation, most centers (95.3%) accomplish restrictive pulmonary blood flow using pulmonary artery bands and primarily use changes in oxygen saturation (34.1%) to identify appropriate restriction. Ductal stents are most often used (67.4%) to ...

These special stents are known as drug eluting stents.Risks of AngioplastyAngioplasty has lately become a very frequently used medical procedure. After the procedure is performed, there is a possibility of increased tissue growth in the artery. This condition is known as restenosis, and almost 30%...
risk of perforating (puncturing) the blood vessels being treated. Other experimental methods exist for keeping arteries open after balloon angioplasty. They include surgically implanted stents (rods) that physically hold open the vessel, a catheter equipped with a scraper to shave off plaque, and use...
