Medical Conditions - Cardiovascular Stents

Cardiovascular stents are small mesh tubes used to treat blockages in blood vessels, typically in the heart. They are inserted through a minimally invasive procedure and can be made of metal or other materials to keep the artery open and allow blood to flow freely. Medication and follow-up appointments are important to prevent complications.
