Over the past 15 years, a multitude of new transluminal techniques
have been developed, all designed to broaden the range of
indications and improve the results of angioplasty. Among these,
the implantation of intravascular stents has emerged as the
technique with the greatest promise. It has become clear that
stenting not only successfully deals with the problem of abrupt
closure after angioplasty, but also reduces the incidence of
restenosis, the Achilles heel of angioplasty. The reason why
restenosis is reduced may be because the immediate gain of luminal
diameter is greater with stenting than with any other technique.
Even if the late loss of diameter is similar among most currently
used transluminal techniques, the end result will stilI be better
after stenting because of the nearly ideal primary effect. The aims
of this book are twofold: first it presents a state-of-the-art
summary of the progress made in stenting so far, and secondly it
details some of the prospects for future improvement. The concept
of stenting has proved to be a correct one, and therefore alI
future efforts wilI be directed towards new, safe, and biologicalIy
"friendly" stents.
