Cardiac stent's are good for if someone has blocked arteries the cardiac stent will restore blood flow through the inner wall of the artery. Stents are sometimes coated with medicine to slowly release in the artery.
Are aspirin and acetaminophen the same thing
Coronary stents last forever and will never be removed. However, 10-20% of patients may develop retenosis, or blockage in he stent, which would require another procedure to clear them out. For this reason it is very important for patients who have been treated with Stents to take Plavix and Aspirin as prescribed by their doctor until told otherwise.

Stents.
A cardiac stent is a small diameter short tube inserted into an artery in the heart so that it forces that part of the artery to stay open. It is used when the arteries become narrow or clogged preventing proper blood flow in the heart.
a person could potentially receive 10-15 or even more stents even under reasonable and appropriate care
yes
Cardiac arrythmias.. Sometimes life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Inneficient cardiac out put and death.
Ask your Doctor.
Following balloon dilation or incision of ureteral strictures, placement of stents maintains the functionality of the ureters. Stents may also be used in the presence of kidney stones to manipulate or prevent stone migration prior to treatment.
Cardiac index (CI) is better. Because you count with the body surface. When you have a cardiac output (CO) of certain value in a small and thin person, the same value can be insufficient in a tall and fat person. In CI you devide CO by the person's surface and you get much better idea of what's going on ;)
