Now, what have these stints done to cause or protect my heart and othter internal organs, such as kidneys, etc? I am taking three heart meds, such as Plavix, Lucinipral, and another med alongside dosages of morphine for extreme pain.

You would think the doctors would have talk with me about putting a stint in along with the risk factors. Couldn't they have done a bypass instead. Now I have another problem along with their stent? Now I have to worry about blood clots. Also I am having a reaction to the blood thinners. So if I am not able to take the thinners. Then what? On August 9, 2007 I had my first heart attack.

Although the makers of the drug eluting stents initially only recommended that patients follow up with a doctor for three to six months following stent placement for anti-clotting therapy, the risk extends for years. Many doctors are indicating that they intend to keep their patients on blood thinners for the rest of their lives. Obviously, different doctors may have different medical recommendations for follow up, but dedicated and consistent treatment with your doctor will help reduce your risk of injury.
