Correct Information for This Edition

Since 1986 when both Jacques Puel and Ulrich Sigart first inserted coronary stents into humans, tens of thousands of stents have been implanted. The coronary stent has become part of the basic armentarium of the interventional cardiologist. The question facing the interventional cardiologist is which stent would best serve the purpose? The Handbook of Coronary Stents has full technical details of 17 stents to help the operator. Patrick Serruys and the team at the Thoraxcentre have enlisted the help of stent designers and pioneers in stenting so that the reader is up-to-date with the latest stent designs. -- from book's back cover.
