Can you feel stents in your heart?

My 15 year old son needs a heart stent. I wonder if you can feel stents in your heart?

No you should not feel the stent in your heart.
Nope! I have a device in my heart and have never felt it
No, you cannot. Interestingly, the heart does not have any nerves in it, so you can’t feel anything that touches the heart or is inside the heart.
No, you cannot feel the stent placed in the arteries. It is protected by the heart muscle. The heart itself is protected in the chest cavity.
Good luck.
No. You do not feel the stent.
