Overview

Coronary stenting is a procedure used to support the artery after angioplasty and prevent it from narrowing again. It is typically performed alongside balloon angioplasty in patients with coronary artery disease. Indications include chest pain, positive stress tests, unstable angina, and acute myocardial infarction.

During the procedure, a stent ,a small metal mesh tube is placed over a balloon catheter and delivered to the narrowed section of the artery. Once the balloon is inflated, the stent expands and stays in place permanently, holding the artery open and restoring blood flow.

Stents can be bare-metal or drug-eluting, the latter releasing medication to prevent tissue regrowth and restenosis. This intervention is suitable for individuals who have single or multiple vessel blockages that are not manageable with medication alone.

At Baby Memorial Hospital, our interventional cardiology team uses the latest generation of stents with precision-guided techniques. Each procedure is tailored to the patient's anatomy and clinical condition, with a focus on safety, speed, and long-term cardiac health.
