Coronary Stenting

The stent keeps the blood vessel open, improving blood flow to the heart and can, in many cases, improve or eliminate chest pain associated with angina.

Stents can also be used in other parts of the body where blood flow is reduced as a result of a build-up of plaque.

Drug-eluting stents, or those that release small doses of medication into the blood stream over time may be used for certain cases and can help prevent re-blockage of the artery and blood clots.
