May 25, 2010 – A self-expanding, drug-eluting stent (DES) that just gained CE mark clearance in Europe is designed to ensure optimal apposition in the initial hours and days after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) procedure.
The Stentys DES continuously applies pressure to the vessel wall, even during thrombus resolution and vessel spasm, which helps avoid malapposition, a major cause of stent thrombosis.
