Today more and more people from different age groups are suffering from cardiovascular diseases.
As per given estimates millions of people die every year due to diseases related to the heart and non-availability of treatment on time.
When the inner walls of the aortic arteries develop plaque it results in heart attack.
The procedure to remove the substance and placing the stents inside the heart is called Angioplasty.
A stent is a small and tiny tube like structure that is used in treating heart diseases due to blocked blood vessels.
The purpose of the stent is to keep blood vessels open, which helps in supplying the blood from heart to the entire body including the muscles of the heart.
This procedure can be carried out before the patient suffers a heart attack also and when the doctor becomes aware of the blockages in the heart.
The usefulness of the stent is not to let the arteries clog again and keep the blood flowing properly without causing any disruptions.
