Actually the "PTCA" and the "Stent Implant" are done at the same time. This is because the stent is placed using a "PTCA" balloon. The "PTCA" balloon crushs the Plaque narrowing open, but the problem is keeping that spot open for a long period of time, thus the stent is placed there.
This has turned out to be a good idea, but the Patient MUST adhere to "Proper Diet" and exercise, to help keep the stent open, of course along with the medication.
Good luck.........Life is fantastic!! Live it well.......!!

They're the same thing. Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty is balloon angioplasty.
A stent will help keep the LAD open.

before everything devil would not have a heart. What does he choose with one provided that he's immortal? A heart is to pump blood and spirits have not got blood. the element you will desire to be greater in contact approximately is that God sent his Son to maintain you. have you ever taken income of that count or will you and devil have this verbal substitute at a later date?
