Bioabsorbable Polymer-Coated Drug Eluting Stent

**Semantic type:** Medical Device

**Definition:** A biodegradable drug-eluting vascular stent that is coated with a polymer that releases an anti-proliferative drug to inhibit intimal growth and prevent restenosis after implantation. The polymer degrades after completion of drug release, leaving an inert metal scaffold in place.
