Hi,
If there is significant narrowing or blockage in your arteries, during cath they will put a stent and fix the problem. You shouldn't worry. If the disease is diagnosed early, which is your case, interventions and treatment done properly, prognosis is much more better.
Hope I could help you.
Wishing you good health
