Coronary Stent Placement - Advanced, Safe & Effective Heart Care

Coronary Stent Placement is a life-saving procedure used to open blocked or narrowed heart arteries and restore smooth blood flow. When cholesterol deposits or plaque build up in the coronary arteries, it can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or even a heart attack. A stent helps prevent these complications by keeping the artery open permanently.

What Is a Coronary Stent?

A coronary stent is a small, expandable metal mesh tube placed inside the artery during angioplasty. Once positioned, it supports the artery walls and ensures continuous blood supply to the heart.

Why Is Coronary Stent Placement Needed?

• Blocked or narrowed coronary arteries
• Chest pain that doesn’t improve with medicines
• Acute heart attack
• High risk of future heart problems

How the Procedure Works

• A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through the wrist or groin.
• A balloon is inflated to open the blockage.
• A stent is placed to keep the artery open.
• Blood flow improves immediately.

Benefits of Coronary Stent Placement

• Immediate relief from chest pain
• Restores normal heart function
• Prevents future heart attacks
• Quick recovery, usually within 1–2 days
• Minimally invasive with high success rate

Aftercare & Recovery

• Take prescribed medications regularly
• Follow a heart-healthy lifestyle
• Attend follow-up checkups
• Avoid heavy lifting for a short period
