- Authors
Lederman, Lynne
- Abstract
The development of metalic stents improved outcomes after angioplasty by reducing acute vessel occlusion. However, permanent metal-based stents have the potential for negative sequelae after several months in place that couls be overcome if the stents were absorbable. This article reviews the advantages of having stents “disappear” and discussed profress toward development of the idea bioabsorbable stent.
