Now IMO this is the solution:
ICS may mean also:

What do you think about this?

intercostal space


Explanation:
intercostal space the space between two adjacent ribs.

See also "images for intercostal space".

Count down the ribs from the sternal angle. The normal apex beat should be in the 5th intercostal space in the mid clavicular line. Decide if the apex beat is normal or displaced. Lateral displacement suggests an enlarged heart.
mitral/apex area, (5th intercostal space, ICS, mid clavicular line)

disagree  Siegfried Armbruster: "...for intercostal space"? HLHR
7 hrs
  -> Thanks, you are right. I was only concentrating on the fact that it is a medical acronym in connection with the chest, and it is usually the one I quoted, but not this time. ;-)
disagree  Lirka: very very unlikely in this context :):)//hehe...or buy a washing machine with a time setting. Gorenje is quite good :):) [ now A. Swift will jump]

Notes to answerer
Asker: I doubt it. The problem was stenosis.

Asker: yes, intracoronary stenting sounds OK in my context

Asker: Not something one can find on Acronym Finder


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Lirka: i recently translated over 50 cath lab reports and have not encountered ICS for 'stenting'. As for intracardiac shunt, I doubt that they'd have to perform cardiac catheterization for it; echo would suffice// in that case, stenting indeed!
9 hrs
  -> lirka, as Asker stated it's definitely a procedure ... pls. see my added note.
agree  Sharon Toh, MITI MCIL: As stated in my comment under the discussion section, I agree with intracoronary stenting.
