Meanings of coat stents in английском

Coated stents cost around three times more than bare metal ones.

However, experimental implantation of coated stents covered by autologous tissue has not been reported.

Drug- coated stents, first introduced in 2003, incorporate medicines to prevent the artery from reclosing.

Drug- coated stents are tiny wire mesh tubes used to prop open recently unclogged heart arteries.

That issue has weighed heavily on the once $6-billion-a-year market for drug- coated stents.

No significant differences were found in the time to endothelialization of bare-metal and sirolimus- coated stents.

To extend the spectrum of biological linings for coated stents, we used an arterial graft.

Sales of drug- coated stents have been hurt by reports showing they can cause blood clots.

The percentage of patients receiving drug- coated stents has fallen to the low-70s, according to Boston Scientific.

Overall rates of death, heart attack and other serious heart events were consistent with other drug- coated stents, J&J said.

Drug- coated stents now account for 69.5 percent of all stenting procedures, the company said.

Blood clots that may develop months later, and potentially cause heart attacks, are a major concern with drug- coated stents.

Conclusions: No neurotoxic effects were observed in the intracranial vessel walls or brainstem tissue in which sirolimus- coated stents were implanted.

Drug- coated stents are now used in more than 90 percent of procedures in rich countries like the United States and Switzerland.

Further studies with longer-term follow up are required to assess the restenosis rates of sirolimus- coated stents implanted in the intracranial vasculature.

Sales of drug- coated stents have been hurt by reports showing they can cause blood clots long after they have been implanted.
