When a stent is implanted in an artery, the cells of the artery wall eventually grow over the stent. The stent becomes permanently embedded in the artery wall. Because of this, a stent cannot be removed once it has been placed in an artery. Doing so would damage the artery wall.

Overview. Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-o-plas-tee), also called percutaneous coronary intervention, is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent) is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter (a thin flexible tube) to place a small structure called a stent to open up blood vessels in the heart that have been narrowed by plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis.

A femoral stent is a small wire mesh tube that is used to hold open a femoral artery that has been narrowed by artery disease (atherosclerosis). The femoral arteries carry blood to the legs. The femoral artery divides into the superficial and deep femoral arteries as it travels down the thigh.
Peripheral stent implants help hold open an artery so that blood can flow through the blocked or clogged artery., The stent—a small, lattice-shaped wire mesh tube, props open the artery and remains permanently in place. The stent is passed through the catheter and implanted in the peripheral artery.
Note: The CPT codes 37236, 37237, 37238, and 37239 are used to report stenting of multiple anatomically defined arteries or veins.
