Advances in Coronary Stenting: Biodegradable vs Metallic Stents in the Treatment of Complex Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Claire Robinson

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has become a cornerstone of treatment for patients with obstructive coronary lesions. Stenting, which involves the placement of a scaffold in the artery to maintain vessel patency, has significantly improved outcomes in PCI procedures.
