If you hold a stent in the palm of your hand, it doesn’t look all that different from a spring in a retractable ink pen. At a glance, the apparent simplicity of a stent belies the decades of engineering and research studies that have contributed to its development. Without stents, angioplasty — a procedure to clear blocked arteries and stop a heart attack or improve heart disease symptoms — would not be the success story that it is today. Stents play a crucial, long-term role in enabling oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscle.
