stenttityyppiä
Stenttityyppiä refers to a specific category or classification of stents, which are medical devices used to keep blood vessels open. Stents are typically made of metal mesh or plastic and are inserted into a blood vessel to prevent it from narrowing or collapsing. This can be crucial in treating conditions such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and aneurysms.
There are several types of stents, each designed for specific applications and patient needs. The most common
1. Bare Metal Stents (BMS): These are made of stainless steel or cobalt-chromium alloy and are coated
2. Drug-Eluting Stents (DES): These stents are coated with a medication that is released over time to
3. Biodegradable Stents: These stents are made of materials that break down over time, reducing the risk
4. Self-Expanding Stents: These stents are designed to expand once they are inserted into the blood vessel,
5. Covered Stents: These stents have a polymer coating that protects the metal mesh from the bloodstream,
The choice of stent type depends on various factors, including the location and severity of the blockage,
