An undeployed stent expands and locks into the vessel wall when the balloon is inflated at the stenotic segment. Once the narrowing is relieved, the procedure is concluded. Stents, along with balloons, are the most commonly used devices for opening occluded arteries or veins. They generally provide better early luminal patency compared to balloons but, unlike balloons, they remain in the body. Stents can stay in the body indefinitely without causing problems. The success rate of balloon and stent procedures ranges from 65% to 99%. Within six months, 20\u201330% of patients who receive a stent may develop in-stent restenosis. This rate is lower with drug-eluting stents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stent-ile-darlik-acilmasi.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stent-ile-darlik-acilmasi.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stent-ile-darlik-acilmasi-300x182.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"304\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-10083-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/45-Anjiyo-ile-stent-tedavisi-video.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/45-Anjiyo-ile-stent-tedavisi-video.mp4\">https:\/\/ozgurkilickesmez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/45-Anjiyo-ile-stent-tedavisi-video.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Balloon and stent applications are minimally invasive methods used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
