Overview
• Anatomy of Coronary Arteries
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
• History of Treatments for CAD
• Form of the Promus Drug-Eluting Stent
• Function of the Promus Drug-Eluting Stent
Overview
• Materials of the Promus Drug-Eluting Stent
• Alternative Treatments for CAD
• Limitations of the Promus Drug-Eluting Stent

Introduction
• CAD kills 600,000 annually in the U.S.
• The drug-eluting coronary stent treats CAD.
• 640,000 stents are implanted annually in the U.S.
• Promus drug-eluting stent is a current model.

Summary
• Problem: CAD is the buildup of plaque in arteries.
• Solution: Drug-eluting coronary stents keep arteries open.
• Limitation: Arteries may still become blocked after stent implantation.
• Design Recommendation: A stent with a non-polymeric surface and an antibody coating prevents many problems.
