Hi
Just become the proud owner of a shiny new titanium stent for just 3 week! Early days.
Titanium! I'm sooo jealous
I got 4 ordinary stents 2 years ago after a bypass operation and a clot which caused infarction on the second day after the operation, and a month ago - a new drug eluting one, called Orsio.
I haven't stopped taking Plavix because of the stents.
The doctors said that for 2 years my atheroma has increased, although I have not stopped taking Crestor. Took 10 mg, now 20. I wonder how is it possible, so soon. My LDL is 2.5 mmol. It has to be lower than 1.9 mmol. I keep a low fat diet.
I got a gold one 14 years ago (private), followed by 3 stainless steel ones 5/6 years later. Now healthier than ever at 64.
I got two fitted last year 24 April 2012
just got to 6 months, after just the one stainless steel item, no problems so far!
Wow,,,thanks to all of you,, ....I find it so interesting and really helpful to hear lots of positive stuff about stents especially from people that actually have them,,,sometimes I just dont realise how many people have them. Thanks once again ,, I will keep reading more and more about and understanding stents and the ways things work ,, meds etc,,, so glad I found this site.....
