Stent blockage
Does anyone have a problem with stents becoming blocked? What was done? Can it be fixed? My dr has seemed to dismiss me telling me it is hereditary and nothing can be done. I would like to know if this is common. Thank you.
Hi there and thanks for posting your question here. I hope I'm not too intrusive by asking a question. Did your doctor tell you that your stent was blocked? Were you having chest pain? We are unable to give medical advice, but I would consider getting a second opinion, especially if you are having chest pain. I'm linking an article that may help you gather some further information. https://heart-failure.net/catheterization All the best, Lauren (team member) I'm sorry you're going through this. It's important to seek a second opinion if you feel dismissed.
Many factors can affect stents and treatments vary.
Finding a proactive specialist could provide more insight and options.
