Drug-eluting stent

Okay kiddo, so let's talk about a stent. A stent is something that doctors use to help keep our blood vessels open if they get too narrow or blocked. This helps our blood flow properly and keeps our hearts healthy.

Now, a drug-eluting stent is a special kind of stent that has medicine on it. This medicine is slowly released into our blood vessels to help prevent them from getting too narrow again. That way, we don't have to worry about getting another blockage or needing another stent.

It's like putting a long-lasting Band-Aid on our blood vessels to keep them healthy and strong. The medicine is a little like magic because it helps us stay healthy even after the surgery is done.

So, there you have it! A drug-eluting stent is a special stent that helps our blood vessels stay open and healthy by releasing medicine over time.
