Abstract

This review is based essentially on the development of the stents and their
interaction with the artery. Because of our sedentary lifestyle in which mental pressures are
increasing day – to – day but physical exercise finds no place, also intake of high caloried
fatty food is increasing, which results to deposition of cholesterol in the arteries. This leads
to death in certain cases. The stents are coming as instant solution to this problem and give
instant relief than other solutions, but interaction of the stents with blood & arteries is a
challenging area which needs to consistent attention.
