“…Another example of design improvement is the manufacture of bifurcation stents, which can overcome the challenges faced during bifurcation procedures [19,138]. PCI in To meet most, if not all, of these features, stent optimization can be obtained through several approaches, such as developing novel stent platforms (either by using new materials or creating new designs), functionalizing stent surfaces, and adopting more precise manufacturing technologies.…”

One of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide is coronary artery disease, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the artery due to plaque deposits. The standard of care for treating this disease is the introduction of a stent at the lesion site. This life-saving tubular device ensures vessel support, keeping the blood-flow path open so that the cardiac muscle receives its vital nutrients and oxygen supply. Several generations of stents have been iteratively developed towards improving patient outcomes and diminishing adverse side effects following the implanting procedure. Moving from bare-metal stents to drug-eluting stents, and recently reaching bioresorbable stents, this research field is under continuous development. To keep up with how stent technology has advanced in the past few decades, this paper reviews the evolution of these devices, focusing on how they can be further optimized towards creating an ideal vascular scaffold.
