What Is The Longevity Of Stents Without Thrombosis?
My mom just had two stents placed in two of her coronary arteries, the right coronary artery and the left cirumflex artery. The cardiac surgeon said there was no need of a CABG surgery and stents would work but now we keep on hearing that there are chances of Stent thrombosis in these DES stents. The stents used for my mom are Biomatrix stents, i have heard there are less chances of stent thrombosis with these stents. How long can these stents work for if there is no stent thrombosis?
