AI Article Synopsis
- For over 25 years, percutaneous coronary interventions (like angioplasty) have been used to treat coronary artery disease, but a recurring issue known as restenosis (blockage) remains.
- The review focuses on recent advancements aimed at addressing restenosis, especially through the use of drug-eluting stents, which release medication to help prevent re-blockage.
- These innovations are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing the chances of further complications after the initial procedure.
