It depends.: If there is no scar resulting from the occlusions and there is a significant amount of heart muscle which is not adequately supplied with blood flow by collateral vessels, one might benefit from stenting.

stent: There are technical factors in deciding whether stenting is possible and physiologic predictions of whether successful stenting will yield benefit. Your doctors including interventional cardiologist are best to advise you regarding your specific situation.
