I had my first stent put in lad, at the very low narrow part. Seven weeks later a clot formed at that stent. A second stent was put in next to the first one.Is this called stent thrombosis? No problem since, except the clot in my left ventricle. I am on warfarin for that, but it has not dissolved, just gotten smaller and denser.
Taxus stents are generally very good and there are very few problems with them. I would say that as long as you are not having any symptoms and you are on asa and plavix you are OK. I am assuming that with the previous MI you did have chest pain. The rate of stent restenosis is less than 5% with this stent and is more likely in the diabetic patients. The risk of stent thrombosis is in the thousandths of a percent.
