A member asked:

How long does the heart stent take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. William Lizarraga answered

Minutes: A cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a cardiologist will place a stent and usually takes only a few minutes. Usually the whole procedure will last an hour or hour and a half.
