Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
A coronary stent is a tube-shaped device placed in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, to keep the arteries open in the treatment of coronary heart disease. It is used in a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recently, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) on February 13 capped the price of coronary stents at a level up to 40 per cent lower than their existing market rates. Coronary stents are included in National List of Essential Medicines
