Abstract: Coronary artery stenting is less expensive than coronary artery bypass surgery, but patients who receive stents will need additional treatments to keep the artery open. Stents are small cylinders that are placed inside coronary arteries to keep them open.

Subjects :: Stent (Surgery) -- Evaluation
