Heart Disease Stent and Angioplasty: A stent is a mess tube used to treat narrow or weak arteries (blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body). The stent is placed in the artery as part of an Angioplasty procedure. Angioplasty restores blood flow into narrow or blocked arteries. The stent helps to support the inner wall of the artery after the angioplasty. Doctors also place stents in weak arteries to improve blood flow and prevent arteries from bursting.
