A bare-metal aortic stent is a permanent, metal mesh tube placed inside the aorta to widen narrowed sections caused by atherosclerotic disease or congenital narrowing (coarctation). Clinically, it restores blood flow by expanding the vessel lumen, reducing symptoms like high blood pressure or chest pain in affected patients.
These devices are typically classified as medical implants and regulated under strict safety and performance standards. They may require pre-market approval or conformity assessment depending on the jurisdiction, and their supply includes delivery systems like balloon catheters or self-expanding mechanisms.
