Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent deployment is the dominant form of myocardial revascularization, with millions of procedures performed worldwide each year. Stent design has evolved substantially over time and there are now a wide range of options available to the interventional cardiologist. This review will cover the development of intracoronary stents and the patient and vessel factors which are important in stent selection.
