The Johnson and Johnson Cypher Stent is a device for those who have had angioplasty surgery. It is a cylindrical piece of metal mesh that is designed to reduce arterial clogging. The device is also coated with a drug that is slowly released into the patients system to reduce re-clogging. The drug-coated stent is known to be potentially dangerous, and hundreds of people have suffered heart stent malfunction due to defective heart stents like the drug coated Cypher Stent.
