Reno Cardiologists Placing Stents

One of the most important procedures we do here at Reno Heart Physicians is stent placement. The placement of a stent helps with the vascular flow in clogged arteries, making your flow smoother and even. A stent is a small tube that is created from a durable wire mesh and basically holds open whatever artery it's placed in. It's generally placed in the artery during an angioplasty, where its placed over a balloon catheter. Once the stent is in place, the balloon expands and locks the stent in place, securing the opening of the artery. This procedure is always performed by the best cardiologist available.

The stent helps in restoring the normal vascular flow and stays there permanently. Eventually, with time, the lining of the arterial walls grow over the stent's surface. By using one of our board-certified Reno cardiologists for this procedure, we assure you that you'll receive the absolute best stent placement procedure possible.
