Happily for Dr. Grüntzig, the patient, and indeed for modern science, in particular the then burgeoning specialty of “interventional cardiology” (a term also coined by Grüntzig), the procedure was successful.

Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has been developed as an alternative treatment. Since its introduction by Dotter [1] in peripheral arteries, and Grüntzig [2] in coronary arteries,

Report of the Initial Experience with the Palmaz-Schatz Coronary Stent Following Elective AngioplasSince the techniques required to deliver these devices are rapidly evolving, such comparisons would be premature. The largest experience worldwide thus far has been with the Palmaz-Schatz coronary stent developed by Johnson & Johnson Interventional Systems (Warren, New Jersey) and thus will be the subject of this chapter.

Bioabsorbable, Drug-Eluting, Intracoronary Stents: Design and Future Applications,Long term results with metallic stents are unclear, but appear promising. Stents may find use in maintaining patency and reducing restenosis. Current devices have not been used long enough to assess these issues, nor the issues of long-term side effects.
