Angioplasty and Stent Placement for the Heart
A stent is a tiny, expandable metal mesh coil. It's put into the newly opened area of the artery to help keep the artery from narrowing or closing again . Tissue will start to coat the stent like a layer of skin once the stent has been placed. The stent will be fully lined with tissue within 3 to 12 months.
