drug eluding stentHad a heart attack August 21,07,,, a stent was put in my right cornary artery which was 100 % blocked,,, will this one work for life or will it need to be replaced from time to time? Also Cardioligst says I'am not normal,,, he told me 98 % of patients heart attacks involve the left side of the heart,,, mine was a right sided heart attack ,, involving and damaging right side of my heart,,he said only 2% of heart attacks are right sided,,,, Says they want to keep close eye on me
Re: drug eluding stentFor life would depend on how old you are and how long you will live. Each stent has a blockage rate, you should ask your cadiologist what the rate is for the stent you have. I have seen some patients need more stents as well as have another heart attack when their stent fails, You need to change your life style,good luck
