Coronary artery stenting minimizes the occurrence of abrupt closure and late restenosis after angioplasty. The range of stents now available allows interventional cardiologists to perform more complex angioplasties at lower risk. In the near future, biologically inert, biodegradable stents coated with antiproliferative and antithrombotic agents may become available.
