摘要
The advent of drug-eluting stents has revolutionized the treatment of coronary heart disease. Interventional cardiologists are increasingly treating more complex lesions in patients that would have otherwise required bypass surgery. As a result of technological advances, the second-generation thin strut TAXUS stent - the TAXUS(R) Liberte(TM) SR paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent - has now been introduced into routine clinical practice. The Liberte stent has evolved from the currently available TAXUS Express(TM) stent to provide enhanced lesion access in challenging anatomies as well as more uniform drug delivery. This article will provide an overview of the TAXUS Liberte stent.
