Hi,
If I understand your question I believe that the "nerve catch sensation" which is usually brief and sharply described pain is not likely heart-related simply based on your history that it existed prior to & after stent placement though it's not absolutely clear from what you've written that the catch ever went away after the 2 stents were placed.
If you have any doubts about this pain being related to ischemia that is going on in the heart muscle itself then, you should mention this to the cardiologist who placed the stents. They may wish to give you a stress test or perform some other manoeuvres to make sure that blood flow to your heart is being adequately maintained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
