Heart stents are an important tool to help clear blocked or narrowed blood vessels, and titanium has become an ideal material for manufacturing heart stents due to its unique biocompatibility, strength and corrosion resistance. Compared with traditional stainless steel or nickel-titanium alloys, titanium performs better in reducing excessive inflammatory reactions and rejection reactions, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative complications in patients.

Titanium is also light in weight and wear-resistant, which not only makes it easier to implant heart stents, but also prolongs the service life of the stent. Due to the low density and good corrosion resistance of titanium heart stents, it can remain stable in the body, which helps to reduce the occurrence of restenosis in the later stage. In addition, titanium alloy heart stents also have certain advantages in transmittance, allowing doctors to observe the implantation effect of the stent more clearly.

According to statistics, more than 10 million titanium alloy heart stent implantations have been completed worldwide. This figure not only reflects the wide application of titanium alloy heart stents, but also reflects its important position in the medical field.

During percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty, the doctor will attach a pre-folded titanium alloy heart stent to the balloon. When the balloon is expanded, the stent will also open and fix in the narrow artery. This is the basic principle of intracoronary stent implantation.

At present, about 80% of coronary artery interventions in clinical practice will implant heart stents. These stents can not only effectively relieve patients' symptoms, but also significantly improve their quality of life. It is precisely because of the excellent application of titanium metal in heart stents that countless lives have been saved.
