It might be suitable to describe when this device was invented and by whom and also describe when improvements were devised and by whom.

Typical mechanical parameters, please: Diameter, length, thickness of the material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.133.195.52 (talk) 03:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

I am an employee of Manifest, a marketing agency representing Abbott Vascular. I would like to request edits to this page as follows. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom at Manifest (talk • contribs) 21:07, 10 November 2015‎ (UTC

In the 2nd paragraph, last sentence, delete “some patients for this reason” and replace with “patients who would benefit from shorter courses of blood-thinning, anticoagulant therapy” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom at Manifest (talk • contribs) 21:07, 10 November 2015‎ (UTC

 * Jytdog, Thank you for your consideration of the proposed edits and taking the time to review them. I've replied to each of your comments. For this one, I propose removing the entire last sentence of the 2nd paragraph (i.e. "As a result, patients with bare metal stents generally receive a shorter duration of blood-thinning anti-coagulation than do patients with drug-eluting stents, and bare-metals stents may be better for some patients for this reason."). The original version has no reference or source provided and it seems unclear as written. Tom at Manifest (talk) 22:35, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

After the 2nd paragraph, add the following new paragraph: Other types of stents are available or under development that are used similarly to bare-metal stents. Some drug-eluting stents have resorbable coatings that dissolve over time, leaving behind a bare-metal stent. These are distinct from fully resorbable scaffolds, or naturally dissolving stents, in which the entire stent structure dissolves after the artery no longer requires it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom at Manifest (talk • contribs) 21:07, 10 November 2015‎ (UTC

 * I propose using this source (WebMD article): Cardiac Stents Overview Tom at Manifest (talk) 22:35, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The content you are discussing compares BMS to DES. There is no good comparable data yet for biosorbable stents to prior designs so this is offtopic here. Jytdog (talk) 04:58, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Under the “See also” section, add two bullet points (note, the second bullet point is for a page to be created): Drug-eluting stents Absorb Bioresorbable Vascuar Scaffold — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom at Manifest (talk • contribs) 21:07, 10 November 2015‎ (UTC

 * These are cross-references to internal Wikipedia pages, so I don't believe any sources are necessary. Please note, the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (spelling of "Vascular" corrected) is now up.
 * Hm sorry, please read WP:SEEALSO, last line. Drug-eluting stents is already linked in the article, so we don't put a link in a see also section Jytdog (talk) 04:20, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
