2. Coronary stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

   The catheter/stent system is introduced into the body by penetrating a peripheral artery (an artery located in the arm or leg) and passed through the arterial system to deliver the DES into the blocked coronary artery. The stent is then expanded to dilate (open) blocked or narrowed coronary arteries (narrowed by plaque buildup), caused by a ...

3. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_coronary...

   Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease. [2] The procedure is used to place and deploy coronary stents , a permanent wire-meshed tube, to open narrowed coronary arteries.

4. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

   A coronary angioplasty is a therapeutic procedure to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease. [1] These stenotic segments of the coronary arteries arise due to the buildup of cholesterol-laden plaques that form in a condition known as atherosclerosis. [3]

   For some high-risk cardiovascular patients with stents, the often-recommended practice of prolonged taking of aspirin might be ineffective, and in some cases, even harmful, a new study found.

7. Drug-eluting stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug-eluting_stent

   Over the last three decades, coronary stenting has matured into a primary minimally invasive treatment tool in managing CAD. [8] Coronary artery stenting is inherently tied to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. PCI is a minimally invasive procedure performed via a catheter (not by open-chest surgery), it is the medical ...

8. Stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stent

   Vascular stents are commonly used in angioplasty, a surgical procedure that opens blocked arteries and places a stent to keep the artery open. This is a common treatment for heart attacks and is also used in the prevention and treatment of strokes. Over 2 million people receive a stent each year for coronary artery disease alone.

9. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

   Evidence remains inconclusive about whether these risks outweigh the benefit of a coronary arterial stent. [3] [4] Inflammation may play a causal role in coronary artery disease and subsequent myocardial infarction due to coronary thrombosis. Increased levels of inflammation may lead to higher risk of clotting as well as an increased risk of ...
