Mohammed Alo: A Stent Treats the Blockage, Not the Underlying Disease
Mohammed Alo, Cardiologist at Toledo Cardiology, shared a post on X:
“A stent fixes one blockage.
It does not fix the disease that put it there.
That is why stopping your aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor on your own, because you feel fine, a bruise scared you, or your dentist told you to skip it, is one of the most dangerous moves you can make after a stent. Stent thrombosis, a clot forming inside that stent, kills 15 to 45 percent of the people it happens to.
Duration of those meds is individualized. The decision to pause them for any reason is your cardiologist’s call, not yours.”
