Cardiac stents are mainly made of alloys, and the most clinically used ones are drug-coated stents.
Cardiac stents, also known as coronary stents, are medical devices used in cardiac interventional procedures and have the function of unblocking blood vessels.
Currently, the most commonly used stents are drug-coated stents, which are coated with rapamycin to prevent in-stent restenosis. In the past, there was a 30% chance of thrombus formation due to in-stent restenosis, but after the use of drug-coated stents, the chance of in-stent restenosis is about 5%.
It is recommended that patients consult the cardiovascular medicine department of a regular hospital, and the physician will choose the appropriate stent for treatment according to the patient’s individual situation.
