Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in the western world and about half of these deaths are caused by coronary artery disease.One of the most commonly used interventions to treat arterial blockages is to deploy an arterial stent to keep the vessel open. Traditionally, some cardiovascular stents have been associated with serious side-effects, such as thrombosis.This book describes the fundamentals of cardiovascular stents, technologies to functionalize their surfaces and the market status of these important implants. The chapters provide specific focus on the production and evolution of cardiovascular stents, providing essential knowledge for researchers on advances in the field and knowledge of how cardiovascular stents are currently being “functionalized” in order to improve their biocompatibility and minimize negative outcomes in vivo.Provides a specific focus on cardiovascular stents Includes a range of topics covering the fundamentals, surface modification and biofunctionalization Provides essential knowledge for researchers on advances in the field Functionalised Cardiovascular Stents and published by Woodhead Publishing. ISBNs for Functionalised Cardiovascular Stents are 9780081004982, 0081004982 and the print ISBNs are 9780081004968, 0081004966.
