Perhaps one of you medical professionals will answer a question for me. On the news last night, there was a piece about one of our AZ hospitals developing a wonderful new stent that would dissolve after a period of time.
My understanding is that a stent is installed to open a blocked vessel. If this is correct, why then would you want the stent to dissolve after time?
This is of interest because my wife is still with me thanks to stents in her heart.
Thanks much.
