Coronary stents last forever and will never be removed. However, 10-20% of patients may develop retenosis, or blockage in he stent, which would require another procedure to clear them out. For this reason it is very important for patients who have been treated with Stents to take Plavix and Aspirin as prescribed by their doctor until told otherwise.
