This type of stent may lower the chance of the artery closing back up in the future.Īmsterdam EA, Wenger NK, Brindis RG, et al. The stent is almost always coated with a drug (called a drug-eluting stent). The stent is left there to help keep the artery open.
The stent is inserted along with the balloon catheter. This opens the blocked vessel and restores proper blood flow to the heart.Ī wire mesh tube (stent) may then be placed in this blocked area. The balloon on the end is blown up (inflated). A balloon catheter is pushed over the guide wire and into the blockage. This helps the doctor see any blockages in the blood vessels that lead to your heart.Ī guide wire is moved into and across the blockage. Liquid contrast (sometimes called "dye," will be injected into your body to highlight blood flow through the arteries. The doctor will use live x-ray pictures to carefully guide the catheter up into your heart and arteries. Sometimes the catheter will be placed in your arm or wrist, or in your upper leg (groin) area. Your doctor will insert a flexible tube (catheter) into an artery. You may also be given medicine that relaxes you, and blood-thinning medicines to prevent a blood clot from forming. Before the angioplasty procedure begins, you will receive some pain medicine.
