A polymer-based, paclitaxel-eluting stent in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Restenosis after coronary stenting necessitates repeated percutaneous or surgical revascularization procedures. The delivery of paclitaxel to the site of vascular injury may reduce the incidence of neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis ...
