Hello Madan Batra Ji,
Thank you for your query. If your doctor has advised a heart stent, it means there’s a blockage in one or more arteries, and a stent is needed to restore blood flow and prevent complications like a heart attack.
What is a Heart Stent?
A stent is a small, metal mesh tube placed in a blocked artery during angioplasty to keep it open. It helps reduce chest pain and improves blood circulation to the heart.
