Any symptoms?: If you're having no symptoms, it's doubtful that a stent would be helpful (and there's trouble and expense, as you know). There's no good evidence that coronary intervention in people without symptoms has any beneficial effects.

Not Usually: 50% blockage on 2 dimensional imaging like an angiogram is usually not hemodynamically significant.
