My father needs to have angioplasty. Doctors will place stant in his artery. I know that it’s necessary, that stent will help prevent arteries from becoming blocked again but I’m worried. I heard a lot of stories about stent thrombosis. Please, tell me more about stent thrombosis complications? Thank you!

Well, it is true that the stent surfaces are thrombogenic. But your father will take anti-clotting medications for awhile. These medications will help to prevent thrombosis. If you want to know what possible complications of thrombosis are, I can tell you that if you leave untreated, it can cause heart attack.
