Short Memory Loss, Impotence. Started After Placing 4 Stents Last Year. Any Chance To Recover?

Hi, my husband faced 4 stents placement last year in June. I realized that he has short memory loss after the intervention, but yesterday he could not remember a friend's name and today he did not remember that a close relative has a kid. Besides, he also faces impotence [he is 61]. However, general tests results show that he is healthy. Does he have any chance to recover? Thank you!
