A dual therapy stent is a coronary artery stent that combines the technology of a bioengineered stent and a drug eluting stent to both accelerate healing of the vessel and to block cell proliferation.[1][2]
One version combines the Genous endothelial progenitor cell capture technology with an antiproliferative, biodegradable sirolimus drug elution.[3] The Combo Stent has received CE Mark approval.[4]
