Does that mean stents would be much more likely to need cleanup at the 8 week checkup?Sharon wrote:Mary is his first patient being sent home without Coumadin!
No, I seriously doubt it. He does not want to put the patients back on an operating table at 8 weeks. When I went for the procedure, he told me that he was being overly cautious about the blood thinners. He really did not think at that time we needed the Coumadin. Maybe a person's INR will determine whether he puts them on Coumadin.Does that mean stents would be much more likely to need cleanup at the 8 week checkup?

Cat will be there next week...maybe she can get the answers from Dr. D.--okay, Cat?
I will surely ask Dr D about this. I took Plavix for about 2 years when my Neuro worried that I may have some vascular issues. It worked very well for me so not taking the coumadin would be a plus.This is something to discuss with Dr. Dake, Cat....Sharon's right. Marie was right on with her doc and follow-up, and she still had issues with the coumadin.
