of new stent technology and the development of
the stent industry is unclear. Previous research
has not characterised the term ‘new technology’,
and so could not investigate its unique impact on
the formation and activities of a new industry.
This paper reviews the historical
development of stent and related technologies,
including catheters and balloons. It describes the
development of interdependencies between the
related technologies and the growth of the stent
industry. It reports on this aspect of research
being performed in order to understand the
nature of the relationship between a new
technology and the strategic activities of a new
technology industry.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">*NONE OF THESE*</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2006</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
