Coronary Artery Stents What are coronary artery stents? A stent is a tiny device made of surgical stainless steel that is placed inside an artery to hold it open and allow blood to flow through the blood vessel. When are coronary stents used? Coronary stents are used as a routine part of most angioplasty procedures.
