Explanation

Stenting is a medical procedure used to keep a person's arteries open. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. In this procedure, a small tube called a stent is placed in an artery to help prevent it from closing up. This is often done after a blockage in the artery has been cleared, to help keep the blood flowing smoothly.
