My father has problem with artery circulation. Doctor said that the best solution for him is to place stent in his artery. He said that is the most common treatment of coronary artery blockages. But I’m worried about late stent thrombosis. Please can somebody tell me what increses risk of stent thrombosis?

Sometimes it’s really necessary to have angioplasty. I know that newer types of heart stents, containing drug-coated mesh, may increase the risk of stent thrombosis. Your father should talk with his doctor first what kind of stant is the best for him. Maybe he can take bare-metal stents that are less thrombogenic.
