My father had angioplasty few days ago. He’s ok and I hope that everything will be fine. Doctor placed in his artery a drug-eluting stent. I know that this kind of stents may cause thrombosis. My father needs to use Plavix to prevent that. Would Plavix help with late thrombosis?

It’s necessary to take anti-clotting medications after this surgery and Plavix is good choice. Late thrombosis is a very rare but potentially dangerous complication of drug-eluting stents, when anti-platelet therapy is discontinued. Your father will need to take his medications for a long time but it’s the only way to be safe.
