After the stent produced by cardiac stent companies is implanted into the body, with the extension of time (a few months to a year), the cells on the coronary artery will grow and migrate, and finally cover the surface of the whole stent, making the stent a part of the human blood ves...
This expands the artery and improves blood flow. In some cases, a stent may also be placed during angioplasty. A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that helps to keep the artery open and improve blood flow. Angioplasty is often used to treat coronary artery disease, and it can be ...

In some circumstances, the plaque can rupture or break open, leading to the formation of a blood clotin the coronary artery. This clot can completely occlude or block the artery. This prevents oxygen-rich blood from being delivered to the heart muscle beyond that blockage and that part of th...
