Intracoronary stents are crucial for percutaneous coronary revascularization, enhancing safety and success rates. Evidence shows elective stenting improves patient outcomes compared to other methods for coronary artery disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular medicine
  • Interventional cardiology
  • Medical device technology

Background:

  • Intracoronary stents are widely used in percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCR).
  • Scientific knowledge regarding coronary stents has rapidly advanced.
  • This review examines the evidence supporting their extensive application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review the scientific evidence supporting the widespread use of intracoronary stents.
  • To evaluate the impact of stenting on patient outcomes in coronary artery disease.

Main Methods:

  • Searched MEDLINE (1990-2000) using terms: stents, coronary artery disease, angioplasty.
  • Included bibliographies from identified articles, textbooks, and conference data.
  • Selected studies assessing immediate and long-term outcomes; included observational studies if RCTs were unavailable.

Main Results:

  • Coronary artery stents significantly enhance the safety of interventional procedures.
  • Stenting increases procedural success rates.
  • The use of stents decreases the need for emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Intracoronary stents are integral to catheter-based treatment of coronary artery disease.
  • Elective stenting, compared to provisional stenting or balloon angioplasty alone, improves clinical outcomes.
  • These benefits are observed across diverse clinical settings and lesion types in the months following PCR.
