Are biodegradable stents reliable

Degradable stent usually refers to a kind of bioabsorbable stent, which is often used in surgical procedures with certain efficacy and advantages. Degradable stent is a new type of stent, compared with the traditional stent its biggest feature is that it can be absorbed by the body within 2~3 years, while the traditional metal stent can expand the blood vessels but it will make the blood vessels move in a restricted way, but the new type of stent not only helps to open up the blocked blood vessels, but also can make the blood flow of the heart return to normal. If your financial ability allows, you can choose to apply degradable stents for treatment, but the use of degradable stents will also have more side effects, such as significant inflammatory reaction and endothelial hyperplasia after implantation, etc., so it is necessary to do it under the guidance of a professional doctor. It is recommended to follow the medical advice to choose the appropriate stent.
