Can A Heart Stent Get Blocked Again? Restenosis Explained | Dr Rushabh

You had a successful angioplasty and feel great, but can your new stent get blocked again? In this video, Dr. Rushabh Parikh, an Interventional Cardiologist, reveals the truth about "In-Stent Restenosis." Discover why stents sometimes block, not from cholesterol plaque, but from the body's own healing process, overproducing scar tissue inside the metal cage. Learn how modern drug-eluting stents have drastically reduced this risk to just 5-8%, and who falls into that high-risk category (such as patients with uncontrolled diabetes or those who stop their blood thinners early). Explore advanced, non-surgical treatments like Drug-Coated Balloons (DCBs) and high-precision imaging (IVUS and OCT) that can fix a blocked stent permanently.
