The methodology in interventional cardiology has historically evolved from diagnostic coronary angiography to balloon angioplasty, the use of bare metal stents, their refinement to drug-eluting stents with a durable polymer, and is now on the verge to drug-eluting stents with further developed drug delivery approaches such as the reservoir technology and the use of bioresorbable polymers. While the reservoir approach may make drug delivery more controllable, the reduction of polymer exposure to the vessel wall was designed to improve vascular healing and reduce the occurrence of undesirable side effects such as stent thrombosis especially on the long-term once the drug is completely eluted.
