A member asked:
How can a heart artery be unclog after a stent was put in and 18 months later is found totaly clogged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: The plaque has developed and fills or partially fills a segment of the coronary artery. It is balloon dilated(not removed or bypassed) and stented with a mesh device. More plaque extrudes or develops on the same or nearby area and occludes the vessel.
