Will An Error Of Stent For Circumflex Cause Heart Attack?
I had a stent in my circumflex about ten days ago. After the procedure, I felt much better, but now I'm feeling about the same as before the stent. I talked to my Cardiologist and he said if it wasn't working, then I'd have had a heart attack by now. Is that true?

Hi Sir,
Welcome to HCM,
I understand your query and concern.
In situ Stent thrombosis has occurred in your case.
Yes it can happen in few cases post stent.
Re-do stenting is done in such cases.
Antiplatelet and Antihypertensive a should be continued without fail.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
