Is Synergy stent drug-eluting?

The SYNERGY BP Stent was the first FDA-approved drug-eluting stent with abluminal bioabsorbable polymer coating available in the U.S. It was designed to address the challenges associated with permanent polymer stents such as inflammation, neoatherosclerosis and late stent thrombosis.

How long do Synergy stents last?

The thin-strut platinum-chromium SYNERGY stent has an ultrathin abluminal bioabsorbable polymer coating that elutes everolimus in ≈3 months before complete resorption at ≈4 months. These design characteristics were intended to promote rapid healing and reduce stent thrombosis.

What is the best cardiac stent?

Multi-Link Vision™ has been the leading BMS in the U.S. since its introduction. It is constructed of a cobalt-chromium alloy that is more radiopaque than stainless steel stents. This alloy is also stronger than stainless steel, which allows stent construction to be much thinner while still retaining its strength.

Is a synergy stent metal?

The SYNERGY Stent is a metal stent with a special drug coating added to help reduce the chance of the artery becoming blocked again. The drug is released from the stent over the period of time during which re-blockage is most likely to occur.

What are the disadvantages of a stent?

damage to the artery where the sheath was inserted. allergic reaction to the contrast agent used during the procedure. damage to an artery in the heart. excessive bleeding requiring a blood transfusion.
