2024年2月11日 · A drug-eluting stent, or DES, is a small, metal mesh tube placed in a blocked coronary artery. The metal is coated in medicine and helps reopen your artery and keep it open. Stents are used...

A drug-eluting stent (DES) is a tube made of a mesh-like material used to treat narrowed arteries in medical procedures both mechanically (by providing a supporting scaffold inside the artery) and pharmacologically (by slowly releasing a pharmaceutical compound).

2024年5月14日 · A drug-eluting stent is coated with a slow-release medicine to help stop blood clots from forming in a stent. Blood clotting in a stent can cause a future blockage, called restenosis, and may lead to a heart attack.

2019年3月22日 · Drug-eluting coronary stents can help prevent plaque buildup, promote good blood flow to your heart, and relieve chest pain. They may also lower your chances of having a heart attack.

2012年2月17日 · While bare-metal stents (BMS) are still utilized, drug-eluting stents (DES) now offer clinicians the ability to prevent restenosis via a different mechanism. BMS prevent restenosis by attenuating arterial recoil and contraction, which was observed with balloon angioplasty.

2023年7月6日 · Drug-eluting stents are small scaffolds made of wire that are inserted into the narrowed coronary arteries of patients with atherosclerosis. The stent helps to...

Drug-eluting stents are metal stents that have been coated with a pharmacologic agent (drug) that is known to suppress restenosis: the reblocking or closing up of an artery after angioplasty due to excess tissue growth inside or at the edge of the stent.

Medication coats drug-eluting stents and reduces the chance of renarrowing, or restenosis, of the blood vessel. convened a panel of cardiovascular experts to review drug-eluting stent safety data. The panel concluded that for many patients, such as …

2023年2月7日 · For most patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting, current-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) are preferred to bare metal stents due to a significantly lower risk of the need for target vessel revascularization.

Drug-eluting stents can help prevent a coronary artery from narrowing again after angioplasty. They are coated with medicine that prevents scar tissue from growing into the artery. Stents are small, expandable tubes.
