Description
- The use of gold plated stents is known in the art and is disclosed in a number of patents and patent applications including U.S. Pat.

Gold plating increases the radiopacity of the stent, a feature that has proven useful for imaging purposes.
- Over time, stents that have been implanted in the body tend, whether gold plated or otherwise, to have proteins adsorbed thereto which increases the likelihood of restenosis. While numerous surface modification treatments to achieve desired surface properties are known for stents, there remains a need for treatment processes for modifying the surface properties of stents having a surface of gold or other noble metals.
