47-Year-Old Develops 95% Blockage at Previous Stent Site Three Years After Angioplasty
A 47-year-old lifeguard from Navi Mumbai, Rajaram Joshi, who had angioplasty three years ago, developed a critical 95% blockage at the site of his previous stent. Despite managing diabetes, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease, he experienced worsening chest pain, sweating, and breathlessness. Doctors at NewEra Hospital performed a repeat angioplasty, placing a drug-eluting stent to restore blood flow. Experts emphasize that stents do not prevent future blockages, especially if underlying conditions are uncontrolled.
