New Drug Stents Help Keep Heart Artery Open. Aug. 11, 2004 -- A new study shows that drug-coated stents designed to prevent repeat blockage of heart arteries apparently do just that. But Canadian researchers say there is no evidence that they actually prevent heart attack or death. Stents are small, wire-mesh tubes placed in a heart artery after balloon angioplasty, a procedure to reopen the artery when it's blocked or narrowed.
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to other parts of your body. A stent is placed in an artery as part of a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty. PCI restores blood flow through narrow or blocked arteries. A stent helps support the inner wall of the artery in the months or years after PCI. Doctors also may place stents in weak arteries to improve blood flow and help prevent the arteries from bursting. Stents usually are made of metal mesh, but sometimes they're made of fabric. Fabric stents, also called stent grafts, are used in larger arteries.
