Yes, Varies Widely: Dr. Korona's short answer is accurate but are there many additional highly relevant variables: type of stent; DES vs. Bare stainless steel; how placed; location & anatomy in which placed; speed of blood flow after the hydraulic expansion; how expanded; what anti-clotting agents are used with what timings, how the individual responds to all of these variables & the list goes on.
