ATLANTA -- The concept of using stents to seal off non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques, before they have a chance to rupture, worked out in the first major trial testing this provocative idea.

Plaques can build up in a person’s arteries over the course of their life, but potentially the most dangerous ones are called vulnerable plaques. These can become unstable and have a higher risk of ...
