“Can stents block up again?”
I got a heart stent 3 years ago. I feel fine. I want to know if stents can block up again?

Most patients with cardiac stents are asked to take anti platelet blood thinners at least for some time after stent placement (duration depending on the type of stent) in order to prevent in stent stenosis (blockage). You should definitely take all prescribed anti platelets for that duration and baby aspirin life long thereafter.
