“…Ulrich Sigwart performed the first coronary stent procedure in 1984 in Lausanne (Towers and Davies 2000) and several papers published between 1985 and 1988 described the progress with the balloon-mounted coronary stent developed by Julio Palmaz and Richard Schatz (and produced by Johnson & Johnson) (Kent 2010), in both canines and humans, and the self-expanding Wall stent used in humans.…”

This book brings together a collection of empirical case studies featuring a wide spectrum of medical innovation. While there is no unique pathway to successful medical innovation, recurring and distinctive features can be observed across different areas of clinical practice. Drawing on a broad body of research on Innovation, Science and Technology, this book examines why medical practice develops so unevenly across and within areas of disease, and how this relates to the underlying conditions of innovation across areas of practice.The contributions contained in this volume adopt a dynamic perspective on medical innovation based on the notion that scientific understanding, technology and clinical practice co-evolve along the coordinated search for solutions to medical problems. The chapters follow an historical approach to emphasise that the advancement of medical know-how is a contested, nuanced process, and that it involves a variety of knowledge bases whose evolutionary paths are rooted in the contexts in which they emerge. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners concerned with medical innovation, management studies and the economics of innovation.
