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).
Steroid, as a cholesterol, is one of the most basic lipids and consists of multiple rings of connected atoms such as hexagons and pentagon. Some examples of steroids are vitamin D, estrogen, and cortison, which are molecules that are critical for keeping the body running smoothly.ll steroids are made in cells either from the sterols lanosterol in animals and fungi, or from cycloartenol in plants. Steroids are important in the reproductive system in the body and in the structure and function of membranes. In addition, they can affect the nervous system as they are active in the brain.
