Hi welcome to HCM. Cardiovascular diseases cannot be completely cured inspite of the stenting procedures.But you can prevent them by careful monitoring and control of underlying co morbid conditions like diabetes ,blood pressure and blood lipids if any.Drug eluding/medicated stents can provide a long symptom and a disease free interval which can span as long as 7-10years.I advise you to have regular follow up through 2 dimensional ECHO on a semiannual basis to detect abnormalities at an early stage.Consult your cardiologist for further queries. Thank yiou
