Stented and Standing

Having a stent placed in a coronary artery is, in one sense, a brief procedure — and in another, an event that changes how a person understands their own body for the rest of their life. The people writing here have sat with that knowledge, and they share it carefully.

Inside this volume

Fifty accounts describe the experience before and after cardiac stent placement: the angina or the emergency, the catheterization, the immediate relief and its aftermath, and the longer adjustment to antiplatelet therapy, lifestyle change, and the particular anxiety that comes with knowing a vessel was once blocked.

Who it's for

For those who have recently had a stent placed, those considering the procedure, and the family members who want to understand what recovery looks like in practice.
