Record ID 32011000914
English
Authors' objectives:
The sirolimus-eluting coronary stent is a device/drug combination product consisting of a coronary stent system and the drug, sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, impregnated in a polymer coating. The sirolimus-eluting stent is used for the minimally invasive treatment of coronary artery obstruction in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease who require percutaneous coronary angioplasty and stenting. Sirolimus is an immunomodulatory drug which is released gradually into the arterial wall to suppress scar tissue formation within the stent and adjacent areas.
