Talk:Self-expandable metallic stent

Vascular system
SEMS are also sometimes used in the vascular system, usually in the aorta and peripheral vascular system. Also, they have been used in the past for saphenous vein graft and native coronary artery percutaneous coronary interventions. I'm not sure if the current aortic stent-grafts used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms are SEMS. Ksheka 13:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
