Abstract

At present, 90 to 95 percent of percutaneous coronary interventions involve the implantation of a stent, often a drug-eluting stent, though most published data originated in the era of bare-metal stents. This article reviews the indications for and biology of coronary-artery stents, focusing on recent advances in drug-eluting stents.
