Summary

This early study tests a new stent that releases a drug to prevent artery re-narrowing in 30 people with coronary artery disease. The stent is placed during a routine procedure to prop open blocked heart vessels. Researchers will check if the artery stays open after 13 months and track any heart-related events.
