my father recently had undergone stent angioplasty in main artery LAD which was blocked completely. Now  his one of the tooth need extraction due to excessive pain as what the dental surgeon asked for. he is on blood thinners (ecosprin) antiplatelets etc. Kindly advise me what I should go for...I m a little bid worried
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The extraction can be done if Bleeding time, clotting time and INR(international normalized ratio) is normal. If there is any increase in the above said test values, then extraction cannot be done till it comes to normal. Before extraction, consult your cardiac physician and get a consent and opinion to proceed with extraction. If the INR is normal then, there is no need to stop the esprit. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
