In pediatric cardiology, stenting has become an accepted procedure in the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) as an alternative to open-heart surgery. CHD refers to a range of defects affecting the heart's structure and function arising from abnormal development during pregnanc...
Many doctors have returned to using the older bare-metalstentsor doing bypass surgery instead of angioplasty until more is known. 不少医生开始重新使用经典的裸层金属支架或者做分流手术以代替血管成形术,等待进一步的研究结果。 Stentsare small metal-mesh cylinders, inserted into coronary arteries after blo...
(Surgery)meda tube of plastic or sprung metal mesh placed inside a hollow tube to reopen it or keep it open; uses in surgery include preventing a blood vessel from closing, esp after angioplasty, and assisting healing after an anastomosis ...
Once the artery is open, your doctor will place the drug-eluting stent against your artery walls. It will help hold it open and slowly release medication directly into your artery. After your surgery, you will need to takeblood thinnerslong-term. How Long Do Drug-Eluting Stents Last? A st...
Open narrowed arteries Reduce symptoms, likechest pain Help treat aheart attack These types are called coronary stents. Usually made of metal mesh, they’re put into arteries after a procedure to expand the artery called a percutaneous coronary intervention or, its more common name,angioplasty. ...

These stents often fail resulting in return of symptoms, repeat surgery, or amputation. We propose to develop and test an optimally-designed stent that bends and twists with the artery during walking, and we hypothesize that it will help arteries stay open longer by improving arterial healing....

Another possible complication is latethrombosis. This is caused when injury to a vessel triggers the formation of blood clots a year or more after the procedure. To help avoid this potentially serious complication, anti-platelet drugs like Plavix (clopidogrel) may be prescribed to inhibit the form...
