Drug Eluting Coronary Stenting Treatment and Cost in India: Advanced Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease

Currently there is much excitement in the cardiology community about drug eluting stents which are a promising new treatment for coronary artery disease. This ingenious therapy involves coating the outer aspect of a standard coronary stent with a thin polymer containing medication that can prevent the formation of scar tissue at the site of coronary intervention. The medication on the currently available stent is known as sirolimus. Sirolimus had been used previously to prevent rejection following organ transplantation. These stents had been studied extensively and had been shown to dramatically decrease the chance of restenosis.

What should you do if you have a drug-eluting stent ?

It’s very important that you take anti-clotting medications exactly as directed by your doctor.

Here’s what to do if you have a stent of any kind : –

  • Take aspirin : – If you have a stent, you’ll have to take aspirin daily and indefinitely to reduce the risk of clotting
  • Take anti-clotting medication : – People with stents are given prescription anti-clotting medications such as clopidogrel (Plavix). The American Heart Association and FDA recommend that people who have had drug-eluting stents inserted should continue to take medications such as Plavix to reduce the risk of blood clots for at least one year after the stent is inserted.
  • Listen to your cardiologist : – Always talk with your cardiologist about how long you should take anti-clotting and other medications because the answer will vary depending on the nature of the blockage you had and your risk of bleeding. The most important thing to remember is to take all your medications exactly as your doctor prescribes.

If you’re considering non cardiac surgery (meaning, not related to your heart) in the year after receiving your stent

There are some additional things to keep in mind: –

  • If possible, you should postpone your noncardiac surgery for one year after receiving a stent.
  • If the surgery can’t be postponed, discuss with your doctor medications you should be taking at the same time, such as aspirin or clopidogrel. Your medication dosages might need to be changed.
