The CYPHER® Stent

 

A new era in heart stent therapy

The CYPHER® Stent was the first of an advanced generation of heart stents called drug-coated or “drug-eluting” stents. Its breakthrough technology has changed the field of cardiovascular care.

More than 3 million lives transformed

Since its introduction, the CYPHER® Stent has been used to open the blocked arteries of more than 3 million people around the world and helped them restore activity to their lives.

More than a decade of clinical study

The CYPHER® Stent has been evaluated in more than 45,000 people in over 75 clinical studies, making it one of the most researched devices in medical history.

CYPHER® Stent proven effective again and again

The CYPHER® Stent has been shown to dramatically improve clinical outcomes. And in the past year, new studies further support the heart stent’s remarkable level of safety and performance.

Make your first intervention last

The CYPHER® Stent releases a unique medication that reduces the risk of re-blockage in your arteries. That means you’re a lot less likely to need another procedure.

The CYPHER® Stent is not for everyone — especially those who cannot take antiplatelet medicine, or have certain allergies. It carries risks, including the formation of a blood clot in the stent, heart attack, and the possible need for a repeat procedure. The CYPHER® Stent also carries the risks associated with the drug sirolimus. Talk to your doctor about these risks, and whether this or other treatments are right for you.
