Hi. Yes she can lead a near normal life but she would have to continue blood thinners for the stents to remain functional. Also by the history it seems she must be having a state due to which her blood has a tendency to clot. Therefore she might require life long blood thinners. To be more precise I would need a detailed history and what all procedures have been carried out. If you need detailed Vascular Surgical advice feel free to contact me by leaving a Direct or a Specialist query. But please include the previous reports so I can give you an informed advice as per the latest guidelines. Take care and look forward to hearing from you.
