Restenosis after NIR stent implantation

Danzi G. B., Sesana M., Capuano C., Predolini S., Baglini R.

The NIR stent is a ''second-generation'' slotted-tube stent that was developed after the Palmaz Schatz and the Gianturco-Roubin stents, and introduced into clinical practice in 1992. This review of the literature describes its clinical performance and the long-term outcomes after implantation in different anatomical and clinical subsets of patients. It also considers clinical experience with the gold-plated NIR stent.
