Coronary artery occlusion occurs when plaque containing cholesterol, fat, and other particles accumulates in the arteries. This buildup can constrict or even close the arteries, resulting in chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and other consequences. Its operation is critical in controlling these blockages to enable adequate blood flow to the heart via coronary stents.
According to these data, patients who have a blockage in their cardiac arteries are more likely to undergo an angioplasty. Angioplasty is performed utilizing a catheter equipped with a small expanding balloon that is inflated to widen the constricted artery.
However, if no stent is used, the widening may only be temporary because the arteries can spasm or occlude again. Coronary stents can prevent restenosis by restoring and maintaining the artery’s proper open posture.
