Are there any special precautions with medicated stents?

0

Yes. There is a higher risk for a clot formation following the implantation of these stents. Drugs such as Plavix (along with aspirin) can reduce the risk of complications. These drugs are to be continued for at least 4 to 6 months. DO NOT STOP TAKING THESE MEDICATIONS, unless directed by your physician.
