Red Wine May Be Good For Your Heart but Is It Beneficial Inside Stents?

A new study is currently testing “red wine” stents in animals.
As far as eye-catching research goes, this one certainly has attracted some attention. A new study of lab rats showed that a component of red wine used during angioplasty reduced the chances of plaque buildup. Red wine has a high concentration of polyphenols which have been shown in past studies to reduce plaque buildup, thin the blood and promote positive vessel regrowth.
All of the good effects of red wine are hopefully going to be included in a new type of drug-eluting stent for humans in the near future. The rat studies have been promising thus far. Unlike other drug-eluting stents, the red wine polyphenols prevent re-blockage while also promoting healing. The ability to heal safely without blocking the vessel is key to making the red wine stents successful.
