Based on data described previously, the wallstent is a versatile stent that, by virtue of its longitudinal flexibility and low profile, can be deployed with a high degree of success in complex lesions of both native coronary arteries and bypass vein grafts. This article discusses its structural design, the experimental studies of thrombogenicity and polymeric coating, early and late clinical experience with the wallstent, clinical evaluation of the less shortening wallstent, and the current indications of the coronary wallstent
