A self-expanding stent is a type of stent used in medical procedures to open blocked or narrowed arteries. It is made of a metal mesh that is compressed into a small diameter and inserted into the artery. Once in place, the stent expands to its original size, allowing blood to flow freely. Self-expanding stents are used in a variety of medical procedures, including angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent-grafting. Self-expanding stents are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of use and minimal invasiveness. They are also more cost-effective than other types of stents, making them a viable option for many patients. The self-expanding stent market is highly competitive, with many companies offering a variety of products. Some of the major players in the market include Abbott, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, and Terumo. Show Less Read more
