A member asked:
Will be 12 months since 2 stents in lad artery..can now come off plavix (clopidogrel)....worried may be i should just continue on it ..any thoughts?

Keep going: The ideal, if you can afford it, is to continue on Aspirin and clopidogrel. Studies show better long term outcomes, but at 12 months you are at a time where it could be stopped.
