A member asked:

What is the best stent for angioplasty? "xience stent" or "resolute integrity stent"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stent: You need to discuss stents with your interventional cardiologist. The various stents available have subtle differences which make different operators prefer different stents. There is no stent which has markedly better results than the others.
