Heart stents are used to open clogged heart arteries. It is very much to take the blood thinners that is prescribed by your cardiologist to decrease the chance of clotting of the stent. Despite that some patients develop scar within the stent which requires placing of more stents in that area. If you experience chest pain after the stent contact your cardiologist immediately.
