I suspect that the person asking the question means a "stent." A stent is usually a fine metallic device used to keep open a section of the coronary artery that is narrowed by atherosclerosis. Some stents are coated with material that is slowly released to prevent local clot formation and interference with blood flow.
Stents are rarely placed at the time of cardiac surgery; they are usually delivered into the artery by a catheter system that is entered via an opening in the groin or antecubital area of an arm.
Please be aware that I am unable to diagnose medical conditions online.
