Pulmonary artery stenting
What is Pulmonary artery stenting?
Pulmonary artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowing (stenosis) or blockages in the pulmonary arteries, which are the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs.
Benefits of stents?
A stent will help blood flow in the artery where it has been fitted and will usually improve symptoms of angina.
Overview
Angioplasty is often followed by the placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent. The stent helps prop the artery open and decreases the chance of the artery narrowing again. Most stents are coated with medicine that helps keep the artery open.
Angioplasty and stent placement may be a planned procedure to improve blood flow to the heart muscles. The procedure also may be used as emergency treatment for a heart attack.
