A novel paclitaxel-eluting porous carbon-carbon nanoparticle coated, nonpolymeric cobalt-chromium stent: evaluation in a porcine model.
We aimed to evaluate the response of porcine coronary arteries to a novel paclitaxel-eluting porous carbon-carbon nanoparticle coated, nonpolymeric cobalt chromium stent. ⋯ This preclinical evaluation demonstrates the safety and efficacy of a novel cobalt chromium stent with a carbon-carbon coating and low and medium doses of paclitaxel.
