Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a cardiovascular disease of the blood vessels that makes vessels, narrow and hardened and difficult to supply blood to the heart. The epidemiology of CAD disease is a common clinical syndrome of a global health priority and the burden is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. The prevalence of CAD not only increases mortality, morbidity and worsens the patient quality of life but also puts a huge burden on the overall healthcare system. The novel risk factors include: cholesterol level, cigarette smoking, diabetics, obesity, and hypertension, respectively are the causative agents of CAD. Furthermore, the etiology of CAD is also a very complex process and several interrelated etiological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of CAD. The signs and symptoms of CAD appear like angina, heart failure, and dyspnea, myocardial infarction, and arrhythmia, respectively. The management and diagnosis of CAD include different types of medications that are used nowadays for the treatment of this disease. The highlights of the present review focused on stent technology and its useful applications. Finally, we also addressed the benefits of the stent, and its potential complications, effectiveness, indication, and contraindication that play a significant role in the recovery of CAD disease.
冠状动脉疾病（CAD）是一种血管的心血管疾病，使血管变窄和硬化，难以向心脏供血。CAD 疾病的流行病学是一个全球卫生重点的常见临床综合征，其负担在全球范围内以惊人的速度增加。CAD 的患病率不仅增加了死亡率、发病率和降低了患者的生活质量，而且给整个医疗保健系统带来了巨大的负担。新的危险因素包括：胆固醇水平、吸烟、糖尿病、肥胖和高血压，分别是 CAD 的病因。此外，CAD 的病因也是一个非常复杂的过程，涉及到几个相互关联的病因因素在 CAD 的发病机制中。CAD 的体征和症状表现为心绞痛、心力衰竭和呼吸困难、心肌梗死和心律失常。CAD 的治疗和诊断包括目前用于治疗这种疾病的不同类型的药物。本综述的重点是支架技术及其有用的应用。最后，我们还讨论了支架的益处及其潜在的并发症、有效性、适应证和禁忌证，这些在 CAD 疾病的康复中起着重要作用。
