Had celiac artery stent placed 6 months ago. is it okay to no longer have us monitoring and not be on plavix if sent was patent. no longer have a md?

Medical device : If you have a medical device implanted in your body, you should maintain regular follow up with your physician indefinitely. With stents, in particular, there is a possibility of narrowing or closing off of the stent completely. Therefore you need to discuss with your doctor the appropriate length you should be on plavix. Do not stop plavix with discussing with your doctor first.
