A member asked:
What to do if i had a stent put in my renal arteries in november of this year to open the arteries up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow-up: You should remain on anti-platelet therapy (aspirin or Clopidigrel) if you are not on another blood thinner. The stent should be checked with duplex (ultrasound) every 6 months to a year.
