Here is a quick message regarding a common question patients ask me about whether their heart stents are able to be removed or replaced. The short answer is no, these stents are permanent. If stents become narrowed, then there are a few ways your cardiologist can tackle this should you be experiencing symptoms, including using drug-coated balloons or adding a further stent inside the old one.
