Answer: The wire mesh tube that is placed in an artery to provide support to the arterial wall is known as a "stent."
Explanation:
A stent is used in numerous surgeries in the body. They can be used for kidneys, bladders, and the heart among other organs.
During an angioplasty, a stent is used to provide support to keep the arterial wall from closing up. The coronary artery stent is put into the artery immediately after the surgery is performed. The patient is usually awake for this particular procedure.
