Abstract
Coronary stents have revolutionised the management of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. This chapter will review the problems associated with percutaneous coronary intervention when performed using balloon angioplasty and bare-metal stents, before discussing the first and second generation DES. Finally the new generation of drug-eluting stents, which are currently undergoing evaluation in clinical trials, will be reviewed.
