Low: There is no hard data (meaning no specific percentage). After the 1st surgery, there tends to be a 10-20% risk of recurrence. But after stent placement we know it's lower. So the answer is somewhere in the ball park of 5-10%, and recurrences can generally be treated in the cath lab. Please discuss your specific issues with your doctor.
