A member asked:
Is it safe getting a heart stent placed while pregnant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There will be radiation during the procedure, but your baby will be shielded. If a stent is recommended, it is likely there is a very threatening blockage that could potentially cause a heart attack or other issues during your pregnancy or delivery.
