Development of coronary stents. WALLSTENTÂ® (Schneider AG), a self-expanding, stainless steel wire-mesh structure, was the first coronary stent implanted in a human coronary artery by Sigwart et al. in 1986.
The stent is completely covered by natural tissue in a matter of 4 - 6 weeks.and the risk of clot formation is nearly absent by that time. In very few cases (1 chance out of 200) a clot may form during the first two weeks after a stent procedure). Such patients develop symptoms of a heart attack.
