Abstract
The application of intracoronary stents improves the clinical results of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) [1]. However, thrombogenicity of metallic stents has proven to be a significant limiting feature in the management of patients undergoing coronary stent placement [2]. Still, acute or subacute occlusion or restenosis occurs in 3%-8% of cases within hours to months [3].
