Nevertheless, coronary stents, and drug-eluting stents in particular, have revolutionized the treatment of coronary heart disease, and new techniques and materials that may ameliorate these problems are being studied. Bioabsorble or biodegradable polymer or stent may help avoid the inflammation and other side effects of long-term foreign objects. Different carriers affect the rate of release of drug, and different antiproliferative drugs may have different clinical effects. The success of drug-eluting stents in coronary disease has prompted investigation of their use in other narrowed arteries, such as the carotid arteries leading to the brain. Such use remains investigational.
