Abstract
A device and method is disclosed for reducing turbulent blood flow over stent struts of an intravascular stent implanted in, for example, a coronary artery. An abrasive slurry is passed over the struts of an intravascular stent in order to remove a portion of the stent struts to form an airfoil shape. When the stent having airfoil-shaped struts is implanted in an artery, the flow of blood over the airfoil shape will reduce the likelihood of turbulent blood flow and thereby will reduce the likelihood of turbulent blood flow and thereby reduce the likelihood of a buildup in plaque or injury to the vessel wall.
