[Progress on reasech of drug-coated stent].
Drug-coated stent play an important role in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and it constitutes an innovation to further reduce the incidence of restenosis. In this paper, the mechanisms and the process of endovascular stent implantation,and the principles of drug release of drug-coated stent are reviewed. Especially, polymer coated design and the further development of drug eluting stents are discussed.
