Yes: Very common still. However, coronary stent technology has reduced the number, especially for single-vessel disease. Research is constantly being done, though both procedures and doctors have a role. Rules vary by location, but a cardiac surgeon and heart surgery team is generally on call in case of a complication of stenting occurs.
