Suffered heart attack in 2006. was 28. stent in artery. lost 15% of heart muscle. what is the average life span of a stent?

Variable: The stents in general last a long time! but the trauma and disease may lead to in-stent narrowing clotting, occlusion and need for more intervention or surgery. The continued research is to make the results last longer!

Average?: Hard to say....Life long but reintervention could vary from less than 10% to 25% depending on type of stent.
