Stenting is a medical procedure used to unblock clogged or narrow arteries or blood vessels. Synonyms for stenting are angioplasty, vascular stenting, endovascular stenting, and coronary stenting. Angioplasty is a procedure that opens blockages in blood vessels with a small balloon while vascular stenting involves inserting a tube-like device called a stent to keep the artery or blood vessel open. Endovascular stenting is a type of stenting that involves the placement of a stent in the body's internal organs, while coronary stenting is a procedure used to open blocked arteries in the heart with the use of a stent. All these procedures aim to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms caused by narrow or blocked arteries or blood vessels.
