Description
Drug-eluting stents are metal mesh tubes coated with medication that keep arteries from re-blocking after angioplasty. These devices have been the solution for millions of people around the world. However, recent studies have raised concerns about associated risks.
All interested parties are invited to join Dr. Yeung and colleagues as they discuss:
- benefits of current drug-eluting stents
- safety concerns
- on-label and off-label uses of these stents
- new developments in the field
Speakers
Alan C. Yeung, MD, Li Ka Shing Professor of Medicine; Director, Interventional Cardiology; Chief (Clinical), Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center; William Fearon, MD, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center
