I had heart stenting done. what can i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What to expect: The most important thing after stent insertion is to continue taking both Aspirin and clopidogrel ( or equivalent) until directed to stop. Next important thing is to begin healthy diet and cholesterol control. Cardiac rehab and exercise is crucial as prescribed by your provider. Watch for development of chest discomfort, shortness of breath or the symptoms you had prior to stent notify md asap.
