A heart stent is a small mesh tube used to help keep a narrowed or blocked coronary artery open and improve blood flow to the heart muscle. Stent placement is commonly performed during angioplasty and may be recommended for certain people with coronary artery disease. A cardiologist evaluates symptoms, medical history, test results, and the condition of the coronary arteries before deciding whether stent treatment is appropriate. During the procedure, a thin tube is guided through a blood vessel to the affected artery, where a balloon may be used to widen the narrowed area before the stent is positioned. After coronary stent placement, taking prescribed medicines as directed and attending follow-up appointments are important. Heart-healthy habits, including appropriate physical activity, balanced nutrition, avoiding tobacco, and managing conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, can also support cardiovascular health.
