Dr. Siskin prescribe, Plavix? What pharmacy filled your prescription? I'm Canadian and any info would be helpful COST?

Do you have stents?

Dr Dake is very aggressive with blood thinners when a patient gets a stent like myself
Good Luck with everything

Doctors are all over the place with them for the simple reason there is no science to back up their use unless a patient has a history of clotting problems. Of course, one can try blaming the lack of thinners and anticoagulants if one gets a clot but fact is there are all kinds of reasons this can happen like an inappropriate stent, perhaps too small, a stent that moved slightly, a stent is a foreign body some people may be prone to "overdo" the healing after the tearing just like some people tend to build more scar tissue after surgery, lack of exercise, added injury during sleep or in general etc etc. We just don't know.

I'm not certain that I can agree with this statement. Dr. Sclafani has stated that angioplasty injures the vein wall and makes the vein much more prone to clotting.
