A member asked:
How many different types of coronary arteries stents are there, do they use seperate stents in diabetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different stents: Broadly there are three categories: bare metal stents, drug eluting stents and biodegradable stents. Data on biodegradable stents in diabetics is still evolving. Data about drug eluting stents in diabetics is most promising. Hence we use it in diabetics very commonly.
