Angina shortly after insertion of stent

Angina shortly after insertion of stent

Posted By Ray C on January 12, 1999 at 10:04:51:







A little over a month ago I had a stent inserted in one of the blocked arteries. In order to accomplish this the Doctor had to use a "rotor rooter" type of device to open the area. Shortly thereafter I started having shortnes of breath and then angina pain. The pain and shortness are far greater than before the procedure. What went wrong?? and what can be done about it?? Can a stent be removed? Your answer is welcomed. Ray
