Subscribe now Stenting stable coronary artery disease has not been convincingly proven to reduce the risk of future heart attacks or death 1. Whether stenting a narrowed coronary artery improves symptoms such as chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath is a very different question. What About Symptoms? N Engl J Med.

The aim is to restore proper blood flow to the heart, alleviating symptoms like chest pain (angina) and reducing the risk of heart attacks. During this procedure, a surgeon creates a bypass around the blocked portions of the coronary arteries using healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body.
