My husband had a coronary stent almost 10 years ago. He is 66.  We lead a very active life style he runs, swims, practises yoga. He is still working for himself. Will he have any symptoms if the stent needs replacing, this morning at a health check his blood pressure had gone up. Thanks
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Yes it depends upon the stent and also the diet. Yes there is change of blockage of stent and patient present with symptoms like breathless less severe, chest pain severe persisting for week. And usually a high BP may not suggest stent replacement. Life span of stent depends upon which stent has been placed at the time of procedure. Along with regular activities of your husband It's necessary to have oil control and fat restricted diet Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.  Chat Doctor.
