Stent placement can also be performed in the veins where angiography was performed. Stent placement is intended to prevent the opened veins from remaining open and narrowing.

Stent assembly is performed during angioplasty. Angioplasty and stent placement are performed under local anesthesia while the patient is awake. It is a process that usually takes 1 or 2 hours.
