Stent: This is a small tube that acts as a scaffold to support the inside your coronary artery. A balloon catheter, placed over a guide wire, puts the stent into your narrowed coronary artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated, and the stent expands to the size of the artery and holds it open. The balloon is then deflated and removed while the stent stays in place. Over several weeks, your artery heals around the stent. These are often placed during angioplasty to help keep the coronary artery open. The stent is usually made of metal and is permanent. It can also be made of a material that the body absorbs over time. Some stents contain medicine and are designed to reduce the risk of the artery getting blocked again (your doctor may call that restenosis).
A stent is a tube made of metal mesh, that is inserted into an artery to help keep it open. Heart stents are placed during an angioplasty, and then left in place.There are two kinds of stents. Bare metal stents are the traditional kind, and solely made of metal. With these, there is a chance the artery can become blocked with scar tissue during the healing process.ith the combination of several long arteries, that may be stented along their entire lengths, and the possiblility of putting stents within stents, the amount a person can have is virtually limitless. Having a lot of stents, however, is never be a good thing.
