A member asked:
How often, for patients with coronary blockages, are angiograms performed without stents?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stents: In general angiography should be done because patients have unacceptable symptoms on good medical therapy. In these situations stenting is often the result of the test. If the test is done in a patient without symptoms then stenting may be inappropriate.
