Using catheters, interventional radiologists open vessels (including with angioplasty) and then place small tube-like devices called stents to maintain the opening of the vessel (or, in other words, to make sure that vessel's lumen stays patent). Specialists perform this additional.
A stent is a small, mesh-like device made of metal. When a stent is placed inside of a coronary artery, it acts as a support or scaffold, keeping the vessel open. By keeping the vessel open, the stent helps to improve blood flow to the heart muscle and reduce the pain of angina. Stent procedures are usually used along with balloon angioplasty. In fact, about 80% of patients who have balloon angioplasty will have a stent placed as well.
