Coronary stents. Stents are used in coronary ’revascularization’ or ’angioplasty’ procedures. These procedures are sometimes referred to as PCI [or] percutaneous coronary interventions.... Stents are stainless steel or nytinol mesh like devices that look similar to the spring in a pen. [They] are delivered into the coronary artery on a catheter during a PCI procedure. They are then "deployed" in the artery by either expansion by a balloon or by a unique "self-expanding" delivery design. They serve as a scaffold to prop the inside of the artery(the lumen) open which increases blood flow to the heart muscle. 1, record 1, English, - coronary%20stent

Des nouvelles méthodes d'angioplastie sont quelquefois utilisées en association avec la sonde à ballonnet : Les endoprothèses (aussi appelées extenseurs ou tuteurs) sont de petits tubes métalliques creux qui peuvent être insérés et déployés à l'aide du ballonnet pour maintenir l'artère ouverte. 3, record 1, French, - endoproth%C3%A8se%20coronaire
