Not sure about the stents but i was told to wrap a towel around the seat belt when i started driving after my ohs and i did that for a few months. I did not drive very far anyway. Good luck.

I’ve got a rigid plastic adjustable seat belt clip to keep my seat belt off my cardio monitor implant 3 for £6 on Amazon. Have one in my car, one in my van and a spare carry when I’m in another vehicle.

Forget padding, towels etc

Mine goes down the middle of my chest or to my right. Easy to adjust clip on or take off

good luck
