The second-generation Xience V everolimus-eluting stent incorporates advanced design features such as a cobalt-chromium stent platform coated with an antirestenotic drug, everolimus, incorporated into a biocompatible polymer with a long history of medical use. The efficacy of the stent has been demonstrated with low rates of angiographic restenosis, whilst randomized trials comparing the Xience V everolimus-eluting stent to the first-generation Taxus paclitaxel-eluting stent have found a reduction in repeat revascularization rates. Further randomized trials, including 'all-comer' patients and registries of unselected patients are currently further evaluating the efficacy and safety of the Xience V stent in high-risk, complex cases.We also offer one of the most primary quality stents in the market,
The Xience V Stent Coronary artery stents are devices (small metallic mesh tubes) that are placed over a balloon catheter and delivered to the narrowed portion of the coronary artery. The balloon is used to expand the stent. The stent presses against the narrowed vessel wall, holding the vessel open. This results in a wider artery channel to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. This may be followed by repeat balloon inflations within the stent to achieve the result desired by your doctor. Once the balloon has been deflated and withdrawn, the stent stays in place permanently, holding the coronary artery open. The inner lining of the artery grows over the surface of the stent, making the stent a permanent part of your artery.
