Cholesterol circulates in the blood stream. It is an essential molecule for the human body. Cholesterol is a molecule from which hormones and steroids are made. It is also used to maintain nerve cells. Between 75 and 80% of the cholesterol that circulates in a person's bloodstream is made in that person's liver.

A SCAI answered. If you have a life-threatening blockage in your artery, you will need angioplasty and a stent to stop damage to your heart muscle and restore blood flow to your heart, potentially saving your life. In some cases, a patient with multiple blockages or other factors may require emergency bypass surgery rather than a stent.
