Someone with heart disease may need to have his or her arteries "scraped" to clean them of plaque. this procedure can cause the arteries to collapse. which prosthesis supports the arteries to keep them open?
The answer is a stent. After angioplasty, the procedure of removing the plaque that blocks the arterial blood flow, a stench is used to support and to maintain the width of the arteries. It keeps the arteries from collapsing and narrowing again.
