Do children need stents for heart problems?

I am a 55 year old male. I want to know do children need stents for heart problems?

Children usually don’t need stents because the conditions for which they are used don’t exist in children like hardening of the arteries. However, children with congenital anomalies with narrowing of the arteries may need it, but this is rare.
