How does a tiny metal stent restore blood flow to the heart? 🫀@drbahaadmour ────────── When plaque narrows a coronary artery, it can reduce oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle. This 3D medical animation demonstrates coronary angioplasty (PCI). A balloon expands a metal stent inside the narrowed artery, compressing plaque against the artery wall and widening the passage for blood. The balloon is then removed, while the stent remains in place to help keep the artery open and improve blood
