New Delhi: The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority has approved a hike in prices of two Coronary stents by 0.53638 per cent, in line with the wholesale price index for the year 2020 over 2019, as per official notification.

According to the new prices notified by the drug price regulator, one unit of Bare Metal Stents will now cost Rs 8,462, while Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) including metallic DES and Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS)/ Biodegradable Stents will cost Rs 30,811 per unit.

The hike in the ceiling price of two coronary stents is at a marginal rate, however, it is likely to affect many cardiac patients during the ongoing crisis. A coronary stent is a tube-shaped device placed in the arteries that supplies blood to the heart. It keeps the arteries open in the treatment of coronary heart diseases.
