Stent placement involves the insertion of a device, usually made of metal, to hold open a narrowed or blocked vessel. This procedure is commonly performed after vascular surgery to ensure that blood flow is not restricted. Catheterization involves the insertion of a catheter into a blood vessel, while embolization involves the deliberate blockage of a blood vessel. ICD implant and electrode placement are not related to vascular surgery.
