Does a heart stent not narrow after a year?

There is some chance that restenosis may or may not occur after one year of cardiac stenting.
Cardiac stenting is a common treatment for coronary artery disease, which restores blood supply to the heart by opening up blocked blood vessels.
If you do not take antiplatelet and lipid-lowering medications as prescribed by your doctor, there is a high risk of increased stenosis in other blood vessels or in-stent restenosis, which often occurs six months after re-stenting and is combined with symptoms of myocardial ischemia.
Therefore, after receiving cardiac stent implantation, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular checkups, and pay close attention to whether symptoms such as precordial pain, palpitations, and dyspnea reoccur.
If necessary, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time to receive standardized diagnosis and treatment.
