A member asked:
Is a celiac artery stent (placed 6 months ago) at more risk for acute occlusion if the velocities are abnormally high even if it is patent on imaging?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opposite More Likely: Blood is water+salts, proteins & cells. Blood is engineered to become a solid in seconds. The sold form (clots, thrombus) both plugs holes/tears in blood vessels & causes narrowing in blood vessels (due to endothelial tears &/or slow flow). Stents are made from stainless steel which promotes clotting. Endothelial cells constantly suppress platelets+clotting proteins & stimulate clot destruction.
