Summary

[edit]
Description
Español: La ilustración muestra la implantación de una endoprótesis vascular (stent) en una arteria coronaria que tiene depósitos de placa. La figura A muestra el catéter con globo desinflado que lleva el stent plegado al interior de la arteria coronaria que se había estrechado. El recuadro anexo a la figura A muestra un corte transversal de la arteria en el que se aprecia el catéter con globo que se ha insertado y sobre el cual se monta el stent plegado. En la figura B el globo se ha inflado, expandiendo el stent y comprimiendo la placa. De ese modo ha restablecido el diámetro de la arteria. La figura C muestra la arteria ensanchada por el stent. El recuadro anexo a la figura C muestra un corte transversal en la que se observa la placa comprimida y la arteria ensanchada por el stent.
