A member asked:

How much time is a patient on plavix (clopidogrel) after stent placement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Current recommendations: Bare metal stent-at least 6-8 weeks. Drug eluting stent - at least one year. In-stent restenosis-maybe for life. The optimal duration of treatment for drug eluting stents is not known and is an area of active research.
