64 slice ct scan

I have a stent and was wondering if I could have a 64 slice ct scan to see how the arteries are doing.  Will it matter if I already have a stent, does it enterfere with the scan?

The comment made regarding my stented RCA from a ct-64 slice was "cannot visualize within the stent but there is good flow present just beyond and just prior."  Apparently, images cannot be taken of the stented lumen, but functionality can be observed.
