Peripheral artery endovascular stent-grafts with drug coatings are tubular implants designed to treat narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart and major aorta. Clinically, they expand within the artery to restore blood flow, while the heparin coating helps prevent clots from forming and reducing the risk of re-narrowing over time.
These devices are typically regulated as medical implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and intended for professional placement via catheterization, though specific requirements depend on local medical device laws and manufacturer guidelines.
