How to look after your stents after your coronary angioplasty procedure? Here are some tips on what you can do to reduce the risk of your heart stents renarrowing..

03/04/2026

One of the most common questions my angioplasty patients ask me after stenting - how long do they last? The stents are permanent implants and are designed to last a lifetime. However in a small percentage of patients, the stents do renarrow again.

Greetings from Guangzhou, China! Wishing all my Muslim friends, patients and colleagues, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir Batin!

Spending my Raya break on a food tour in Guangzhou. Delicious Cantonese fare, and temperate weather makes this a relaxing makan trip. Too many food choices….Not enough time to sample everything on this short trip. Think I need to come back here again for Round Two…

This weekend, Madam Mohana, at a young age of 92 yrs old, has officially become my oldest angioplasty patient! She presented recently with chest tightness on exertion suggestive of coronary heart blockage. In view of her age, I initially felt it was best to try a conservative approach with medications in the first instance, to alleviate her symptoms.

However despite medical therapy, her symptoms worsened and she was admitted to hospital with unstable angina this weekend. After much deliberation with the patient and family, we then decided to proceed with coronary angiography which revealed a 99% blockage in the top end and a further 70-80% blockage further down in one of her major heart arteries (LAD). Immediate coronary angioplasty with stenting was carried out successfully and the patient was in fact discharged home well the next day.

The case highlights an important take home message - with the latest innovations and medical technology, heart patients should NOT be denied treatment on basis of their age. Yes, as one becomes older and more frail the procedural risks do go up, but with careful planning and judicious care, these procedures can be carried out safely in selected individuals. Not all patients are the same - the risks and the potential benefits of improving survival or quality of life should be assessed carefully for every patient regardless of age!
