NEW YORK, NY – New stents with a biodegradable polymer are superior to first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) when it comes to reducing target vessel revascularization (TVR) but are not better ...

Stents, which are typically inserted into a blood vessel in order to expand the vessel to prevent or alleviate a blockage, have traditionally been made from metal mesh and remained in the body ...

Biodegradable magnesium stents have been developed to treat blockages in coronary arteries which can degrade within four months and achieve the same results as conventional stents, conclude authors of ...

CHICAGO — Ten-year results from the ISAR-TEST 4 trial have shown that new-generation drug-eluting stents are superior to early-generation stents in terms of clinical outcomes, including mortality.
