There are 3 main types of heart stents, which are: 1- Metal stent 2- Drug-eluting metal stent 3- Bio-drug stent The first type of heart stent is the metal stent. The metal stent is considered one of the first types of heart stents to be used, and it is a type of mesh stent in the form of a thin and precise tube that is placed in the place affected by the blockage of the arteries to keep the arteries open. The second type of heart stents is the drug-eluting metal stent. This type of heart stent is similar to the metal stent, but it pumps a quantity of medicine to prevent the arteries from blocking again. This type of heart stent is considered a very safe stent, and it is one of the types of heart stents suitable for certain medical conditions, such as these stents being one of the best types of heart stents suitable for diabetics and those with coronary artery disease, and also one of the safest ways to intervene in small arteries. The third type of heart stents is the drug-eluting biostent. This type of heart stent is characterized by being a type of very fine mesh that is shaped like a thin, fine tube that is made of materials that dissolve in the body over a period of 3 months, and up to a maximum of two years, which is a sufficient period for the coronary artery or blood vessel to return to its natural elasticity. After installing different types of heart stents, there may be a small risk of about 2-3 percent that the arteries will narrow again, and if the artery becomes blocked again, it will be within a period of about 6 to 9 months after installing the heart stents. If the heart stents fail, the doctor may resort to installing a stent again, along with taking some types of medications that help blood flow normally. The success rate of installing different types of heart stents depends on 3 factors: 1- Choosing the best cardiologist in Egypt in terms of experience. 2- Choosing the best hospital to install heart stents in terms of the level of sterilization, cleanliness, and professionalism of the medical staff. 3- Taking medications after installing heart stents regularly, and stopping unhealthy daily habits such as stopping smoking and eating fatty foods high in cholesterol. When should the injured person visit a cardiologist immediately after the stenting procedure? In case of: 1- Bleeding or swelling in the area where the catheter was inserted 2- Feeling pain or discomfort at the site of catheter insertion 3- Signs of infection such as redness, swelling, pus, or fever 4- Change in the color or temperature of the leg or arm used during the heart stent placement procedure. 5- Feeling faint or weak. 6- Feeling chest pain or shortness of breath.
