Chest pain post coated stent placement

Chest pain post coated stent placement

Is it typical to have intermittent chest pain for the last two weeks since having my proximal LAD stented (coated stent)? I have resorted to nitroglycerin several times with mixed results. Today, I had some lightheadedness and shortness of breath with the chest pain, but a couple of hours later, and 3-4 sprays of nitro it is resolved.

It is not typical for the intermittent chest pain post stent and should be discussed with your Cardiologist.
