Post stents follow up

Hi all 4 years ago I had 3 stents fitted following an NSTEMI . I attended rehab for a few months afterwards, then covid stopped all of that. I’ve kept active walking though and am using an exercise bike.

I’m still 2 stone lighter than I was when I had the op and a trouser size down. Is there meant to be any annual check up? I submit my BP readings every 6 months and that and my HbAc1 are both good.

Other than that I’ve no aches and pains and have not had to use my GTN spray which will probably go out of date soon.

This all sounds like good news but should I have a check up or scan of some sort as a routine?

Not worried just wondering.
