    Coronary Stenting

    Stents are now used routinely during angioplasty and other revascularization procedures.

    A coronary stent is a tube placed in the coronary arteries that supply 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).
