endovascular stenting
Endovascular stenting is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels. During the procedure, a small tube called a stent is inserted into the affected area through a thin catheter. The stent expands to keep the blood vessel open, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of complications.
This technique is commonly used for conditions such as atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits narrow arteries, and can be performed in various locations, including the coronary arteries and peripheral arteries. Endovascular stenting typically results in shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
