About Drug-Eluting Stent

Drug-eluting stents, also known as medicated coronary stents, are used to inhibit artery blockages that may occur in patients after an angioplasty surgery. A drug-eluting stent is a tiny, expandable metal mesh tube, which is covered with a pharmacologic agent (drug). Drug-eluting stents are used to treat patients that suffer from atherosclerosis that can occur because of hypertension, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, or a high-cholesterol diet. After a patient undergoes angioplasty, there is a chance that the artery might close again because of blood clots or excessive growth of the surrounding tissues. To address this problem, drug-eluting stents are placed in the artery, preventing it from narrowing or clogging. Thus, drug-eluting stents eliminate the need for repeated revascularization procedures that are used to treat restenosis (narrowing of blood vessels). Restenosis of an artery occurs because of the body’s natural immune response to an injury. Drug-eluting stents help in reducing the arterial blockage and ensure smooth blood flow through the arteries.
