Intravascular stents have been developed and their basic manufacturing processes have been tried out by the D. V. Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus in cooperation with involved scientific institutions, as well as with leading specialists from cardiology centers and clinics. The following technologies have been tried out experimentally: laser cutting of stents, subsequent multi-step purification of the stent surface, deposition of biocompatible coating on stents (diamond-like carbon). The technology for manufacturing of balloon catheters has been developed and a pilot sample has been manufactured. In 2004, it is assumed to complete R&D with necessary medical trials to start of organization of production.
