Hello Aspririn and ceruvin are blood thinners and are essential cardiac medicine . If any stent in the heart has been put in the last 6 months , its not wise to stop the blood thinners . In other possibilties you may consider stopping the same after a discussion with your doctor about individual risk benefits . A way forward is yo keep atleast aspirin on board and stoping ceruvin for minimum duration possible . Regards Dr. Mody
