In most cases, stent placement is performed in combination with the balloon angioplasty procedure.
What is Cardiology?
Cardiology is the branch of science that examines diseases related to the heart and circulatory system. Cardiology, which was a sub-branch of the internal medicine department, is now a separate department.
