A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Treatments have evolved, with stenting becoming the primary approach over bypass surgery. This article reviews the evolution of coronary stent technology, starting from the first angioplasty in 1977. Pioneers like Forssmann, Dotter, and Gruentzig established the foundation.
