I had one done in April 2012 in one of the best heart hospitals in South Africa. From all the posts above it looks like that procedure is same all over the world. I had to take one stent . After reading the comments/ experience of members who posted under the thread , I am willing to ask a few questions about the issue :1) is there any way that the Cardiologist can examine the condition of the stent  and make assessment whether it is functioning OK or not? I am told another angiogram is required to assess the condition of stents ,is it so?2) For how many years the stent is good for?3) Will the holder of the stent feel if there is something wrong with the stent? 4) I have the feeling that I have sometimes feeling of some pressure on my chest that does not last more than minute or two and if I drink water the pressure goes off and back to normal5) I have appointment for stress test in December , can you please advise what could be expected out of the test ?</blockquote>
