Vascular Stenting

Vascular stenting is a medical procedure used to keep blood vessels open in cases where they are narrowed or blocked, often due to conditions like atherosclerosis. A small, mesh-like tube called a stent is inserted into the affected blood vessel, usually through a minimally invasive technique. Once in place, the stent expands and supports the walls of the vessel, improving blood flow. This procedure can help reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes and is commonly performed during angioplasty, where a balloon is used to open the blockage before the stent is placed.
