Pacientes submetidos a Intervenção Coronária Percutânea, recebendo stent farmacológico.
It is related to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and the type of stent/stenting the patient receives. There is CS, conventional stenting and this one. The literal translation would be pharmacological stent/ing but I'm really not sure it's right.
Any help is very welcome. Thank you in advance.

drug-eluting stent
Acho que é isso, veja no seu contexto se cabe.
A drug-eluting stent (DES) is a coronary stent (a scaffold) placed into narrowed, diseased coronary arteries that slowly releases a drug to block cell proliferation. This prevents fibrosis that, together with clots (thrombus), could otherwise block the stented artery, a process called restenosis. The stent is usually placed within the coronary artery by an Interventional cardiologist during an angioplasty procedure.

Note from asker:
| Thank you both of you. This really fits well within the context of the translation. I knew it couldn't be phrmacological, as Martin rightly pointed out, but I was literally stuck for words! Thanks again. |
