Reclosure (restenosis) of the artery is much less likely to occur after stenting than with angioplasty alone. Stent placement is rapidly becoming the standard procedure during most angioplasty procedures. Drug-eluting stents are coated with medicines that prevent restenosis due to tissue regrowth.

Self-expandable stents are easy to deploy, but may require additional angioplasty with balloon to obtain satisfactory dilation (opening) of the diseased vessel. Covered stents or stent-grafts have additional advantages over bare stents and are becoming more commonly used.

As more time passes after your angioplasty and stenting, restenosis becomes more likely. Stents, especially drug-coated stents, may reduce this risk. However, in some cases, you may need a repeat angioplasty or a bypass surgery if a restenosis develops.

Cardiologists perform angioplasty to open narrowed arteries. ... About 35% to 40% of patients who have balloon angioplasty are at risk of more blockages in the treated area. This is called restenosis. Restenosis usually happens within 6 months after balloon angioplasty. Arteries that have stents can re-close, as well.
