Bioactive surfaces for improved coronary stent performance

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Drug eluting stents (DES) are widely used to treat coronary heart disease. Although current DES generally perform well, restenosis and delayed endothelium healing still remains an issue following stent implantations. Research efforts are now focused on the development of stent coatings that address these limitations. Amongst many different materials currently being investigated as stent coatings, conducting polyme...
