First, what\nexactly is a coronary artery stent insertion?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A coronary stent\ninsertion, which is often performed after an angioplasty, opens up\nnarrowed or blocked coronary arteries through the insertion of a\nsmall metal mesh tube, known as a stent, to improve blood flow and\noxygenation of heart (cardiac muscle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent the\nartery from re blocking, often the stent is coated with a drug to\nprevent this These are known as drug eluting stents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What causes the\nneed for a coronary artery stent insertion?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Atherosclerosis\nrefers to the thickening and narrowing of the coronary arteries due\nto deposits known as plaque. Plaque is made up of fat and cholesterol\nthat accumulates on artery walls. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An angioplasty and\nsubsequent coronary artery stent insertion may be used to treat a\nblockage in a coronary artery during or after a heart attack\n(myocardial infarction), blockages due to angina (lack of blood flow\nto cardiac muscles) and blockages that impede normal heart function\n(heart failure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
