The protocol at least for me after having the last occlusion which was opened with a stent includes: Plavix 75mg, Simvistatin 40mg, Niaspan 3,000 mg, 20 mg Lisinopril, low glycemic low fat diet, walk 30 minutes 4-5 times per week.
I believe there is a typical protocol for stenting in order to alleviate re-occlusion to occur. I personally know one person who had a blocked artery in 11/2003. Since that time he has not stayed on any medication regimen recommended nor eaten a diet described as heart healthy. He has not exercised at all. He just went through an angiogram three months ago to determine any new occlusions or build-up and there was none!
So all of the protocols are just that protocols. What has worked the majority of the time for the majority of patients. I myself will do my best to stay on recommended protocol and at least do everything I know to do on my part!
