Stent Implementation

     
       A stent is a small metal coil, slotted tube, or mesh structure that is placed in a coronary artery to keep it open. It is a permanent implant that will remain in your coronary artery. The stent helps hold the artery open, improves blood flow and relieves symptoms of coronary artery disease. Experience has shown that the use of a cronary stent may improve the success rate of angioplasty and reduce the rate of restenosis.
