Bioinert Properties of a Coronary Stent with Nanostructural Carbon Coating

Abstract

ABSTRACT The article is dedicated to study of bioinert properties of a coronary stent with nanostructural carbon coating by the up-to-date methods of intravascular visualization. It was evidenced that use of a stent with nanostructural carbon coating results in reduction of the risk of in-stent stenosis by more then 2 times as compared to endoprostheses made of stainless steel without surface modification and does not induce thrombogenesis when standard antiaggregant doses are used
