The crux of aftercare (heparin/aspirin etc.)
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 4:53 pm
Is there yet a commonly accepted route to go apres procedure with -in specific- ballooning only vs stenting, or are we all sticking with what our applicable clinic tells us?
In short I guess, has anyone summarised a vague outline
I'll be having the procedure in Katowice next month so will I assume be on Heparin equivalent for 7 days as a stat' thing they seem to do (seems short to me if a stent or two is in play?). But regardless i'll personally opt to take a sliding scale of aspirin for at least 6 months after to be sure. I just feel it would be good to know the upper and lower limits of which medications others are working around, and applicable to which form of treatment. Also to know which medications work on which part of blood function applicable here in one thread/sticky from someone in the know because it can be confusing. Maybe?
