It takes six months after cardiac stenting for the stent to become fixed. There is a possibility that the stent may become narrowed within six months, so another coronary angiogram will need to be done to determine the position and width of the stent.
Cardiac stenting is a procedure in which a balloon with a stent is delivered from the radial artery vessel to the site of the coronary artery blockage, and then the balloon is inflated to open the stent, so that the stent is fixed in the blockage to fixate , and form a supportive effect on the blocked blood vessel.
After the stent is implanted in the body, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the blood vessel it supports, and the proliferation of fibrous tissue in the blood vessel will also cause narrowing of the blood vessel and stent, so you should go to the hospital six months after the procedure to check the condition of the stent and the blood vessel again.
If there is chest tightness, chest pain or other discomforts after stenting, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
