An ideal coronary stent should
Show Hint
- be thromboresistant
- promote accumulation of smooth muscle cells
- be fatigue resistant
- support deposition of extracellular matrix
The Correct Option is A, C
Solution and Explanation
A good stent must maintain vessel patency while minimizing complications.
Step 2: Evaluate each option.
(A) Thromboresistance is essential to prevent blood clot formation.
(B) Accumulation of smooth muscle cells is bad—it leads to restenosis.
(C) Fatigue resistance is required to withstand continuous pulsatile blood flow.
(D) Excessive extracellular matrix deposition increases restenosis risk.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Therefore, the correct desirable properties are (A) and (C).
