A bare-metal iliac artery stent is a permanent, tubular implant designed to keep blood vessels open in patients suffering from symptomatic atherosclerotic disease. These devices are placed within the common or external iliac arteries to restore and maintain proper blood flow by supporting the vessel wall.
These metallic implants are available in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different patient anatomies and may be deployed using either balloon-expandable or self-expanding delivery systems. The category includes the stent itself and any associated disposable components required for the surgical implantation procedure.
