Vascular stents: Expanding use
Article Abstract:
Implantation of stents, mesh cylinders that widen clogged arteries that is growing fast and evolving for 20 years as the inserts and represent an alternative to more invasive open surgery is discussed. Critics state doctors underestimated surgical risks and are too quick to insert them, but expert doctors suggests that about 30 percent of heart patients experienced renarrowing with a plain stent, the rate with medicated stents is below 10 percent.
