Abstract
- Angioplasty with stent implantation is considered to be the basic treatment method of stenosis of blood vessels. The process of stent implantation changed through the years, from stents made only from metals, produced from polymers, to biodegradable ones and those which elute drugs. The purpose of this review is to outline the development of this medical procedure and present the advantages and disadvantages of each type of stent.
