Hello Sir
1. As such in particular there is not definite age of the stents, some patients it go on for their life time and in some just few years. It all depends on your life style habits and your body response and how severe is the disease process.
2. Yes you can do all your daily activities without any restriction.
3. Be Very regular with your meds prescribed, dietary precautions like low salt diet, avoiding junk food and deep fried food items, and most importantly to avoid smoking completely and go for daily morning walks.
Good Luck
