New to heart attacks

I've had five stents inserted 2 weeks ago what does the future hold for me. I will be 50 this year. How long will these stents last?

Some of my stents have been in my heart arteries for twelve years.  A recent angiogram showed them all to be clear.  Ed's advice is perfect.

your prognosis is good if you stay on the medication and make lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, no smoking, avoiding too much stress, keep blood pressure normal.
There is no reason why your stents should give any problems now or in the future.
