Excellent Application Of Titanium In Heart Stents

Cardiac stents, also known as coronary stents, play an important role in continuously supporting arteries, solving stenosis problems, and ensuring smooth blood circulation. This kind of medical device is mainly used in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome such as acute myocardial infarction and is a valuable tool for saving lives.

With the continuous progress of medical technology, after repeated research and practice, the most commonly used material in cardiac stents is titanium alloy. Titanium alloy not only has high strength and corrosion resistance, but also has good bio-compatibility, which makes it an ideal choice for heart stents.

The production process of titanium alloy heart stents is very delicate. According to different treatment needs, the tube body of the stent will be carefully “crafted”. This stent is designed to support the artery without causing excessive compression to the surrounding tissue.

According to statistics, more than 10 million titanium alloy heart stents have been inserted worldwide. This figure not only reflects the wide application of titanium alloy heart stents, but also reflects its important position in the medical field.

During per-cutaneous coronary artery balloon dilation, the doctor will attach a pre-folded titanium alloy heart stent to the balloon. When the balloon is expanded, the stent will also open and fix it at the narrow artery. This is the basic principle of coronary stent placement.

At present, about 80% of coronary artery inter-ventional procedures in clinical practice will be placed with cardiac stents. These stents can not only effectively relieve patients' symptoms, but also significantly improve their quality of life. It is precisely because of the excellent application of titanium in heart stents that countless lives have been saved.
