Bioactive surfaces for improved coronary stent performance
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 …
