does the balloon inflated by air?

@ikaz1992 You'd need to ask a health care professional for the exact answer, but I believe so.

I had these put in and I always wondered how many years will they last. Or is there a time limit.

@007auntbek Please check with your doctor or health care professional

amazing tech eh. but think for about 2 seconds. Why the bloody hell was it blocked in the first place. umm, its in my genes. hahaha, dah, wrong. You eat like a wanker, wrong food, too much food, eat in the evening when actually you are about to go to bed, fatty dead animals and diary products and you worry like theres no tomorrow. So many in awe, yet no teaching of how to live properly. None. Zip from johnson and johnson. Just the sales of products. The worst posion of all. At the cost of others

Implacing the stent hurts like the dickens but it is worth the extreem discomfort. Much better than having your chest cracked.

this is an amazing alternative to CABG, heart attacks, and worst case- stroke and death. if you are offered this you are lucky you caught it before anything worse happened.

@XBanetteX  You're scared of putting a long silver "thing" (maybe called a stent!!) in your body. Which is worse...living with the problem that requires it, or the surgery. You should grow up.

[chickenbonecharlie2]

@CoolAnimeChick You should grow up.
