Heart Stent Placed Through The Chest Wall

A procedure in which a catheter is passed directly through the chest wall into the heart so a small mesh tube can be positioned in a vessel to hold it open. The catheter is then withdrawn and the chest closed. This route avoids threading a catheter all the way up from a vessel in the groin.
