Plavix long term after stent
by chuck51984, Apr 21, 2008 12:31PM
After a DES in my Circumflex, how long is it neccessary to take plavix? Will aspirin do the trick as well?
Dr says we can stop it "...if I want to take my chances..." (not a good answer)
What's the longest anyone's taken (taking) it w/no probs?
Lastly, if I have restenosis, or a throw a clot in my Circumflex, would it be over or is that a "secondary" area?

thanks for any info
But, all this lasted only a short time, probably less than a year. Don't have nearly as much trouble with it recently. I'm kind of assuming that it's something that the body gets used to over time. Or maybe we just gradually learn to be more careful. :-)
I figure on staying on it from now on, considering the alternative..............
Be of good cheer.
