2. Coronary stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

   Coronary artery stents, typically a metal framework, can be placed inside the artery to help keep it open. However, as the stent is a foreign object (not native to the body), it incites an immune response. This may cause scar tissue (cell proliferation) to rapidly grow over the stent and cause a neointimal hyperplasia.

5. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

   A percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary angioplasty with stenting, is a non-surgical procedure used to improve the blood flow to the heart. [1] Coronary angioplasty is indicated for coronary artery diseases such as unstable angina, NSTEMI, STEMI and spontaneous coronary artery perforation. [1]

6. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease. [2] The procedure is used to place and deploy coronary stents, a permanent wire-meshed tube, to open narrowed coronary arteries. PCI is considered 'non-surgical ...

7. Drug-eluting stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug-eluting_stent

   PCI is a minimally invasive procedure. It involves the placement of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in a coronary artery. This procedure, previously known as angioplasty with a stent, is considered non-surgical as it is performed through a small puncture in a peripheral artery, avoiding the need to open the chest wall. While bleeding from the ...

8. Cardiac catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_catheterization

   Cardiac catheterization (heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart.This is done both for diagnostic and interventional purposes. A common example of cardiac catheterization is coronary catheterization that involves catheterization of the coronary arteries for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions ("heart attacks").

9. Restenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restenosis

   Rates of restenosis differ between devices (e.g., stent-grafts, balloon angioplasty, etc.) and location of procedure (i.e., centrally located in the heart, such as the coronary artery, or in peripheral vessels such as the popliteal artery in the leg, the pudendal artery in the pelvis, or the carotid artery in the neck).
