Executive Summary
Phosphorylcholine coatings cut the risk of clotting on coronary stents and guidewires, according to data presented at the American Heart Association meeting in Anaheim this week. While stainless steel stents caused rapid thrombosis in uncoagulated baboons the coated versions prevented clotting for the duration of a two hour study.
