About Stenting
Key Highlights
Who Is This Surgery For?
- Stable angina (chest pain) that is not adequately controlled with medication.
- Unstable angina or a heart attack (myocardial infarction) to quickly open a blocked artery.
- Significant blockage (usually 70% or more) in one or more major coronary arteries.
- Positive results from a stress test or coronary angiogram showing reduced blood flow to the heart.
- To improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.
How to Prepare
- Undergo diagnostic tests such as blood work, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and a coronary angiogram.
- Discuss all current medications with your doctor; you may need to stop blood thinners like aspirin or clopidogrel temporarily.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the procedure.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after hospital discharge.
- Inform the medical team of any allergies, especially to iodine, contrast dye, or medications.
Risks & Possible Complications
- Bleeding or bruising at the catheter insertion site in the wrist or groin.
- Damage to the blood vessel used for catheter access.
- Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used during imaging.
- Blood clot formation within the stent (stent thrombosis), which can cause a heart attack.
- Re-narrowing of the artery (restenosis) over time, though less common with drug-eluting stents.
- Rare risks include kidney damage from contrast dye, stroke, or heart attack during the procedure.
Recovery & Hospital Stay
- Initial monitoring for 4-6 hours in a recovery area to check the insertion site and vital signs.
- Drink plenty of fluids to help flush the contrast dye from your system.
- Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and driving for the first few days as advised.
- Keep the insertion site clean and dry; report any signs of infection like redness, swelling, or fever.
- Take all prescribed medications diligently, especially antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin and clopidogrel) to prevent blood clots in the stent.
- Attend all follow-up appointments and participate in cardiac rehabilitation for guided exercise and lifestyle education.
- Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
- Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for routine activities, 4-6 weeks for full recovery
