Death after one year of stenting
My father is 63 years old. He went through a heart attack. Angiography done and found 2 blocks. As per doctor statement, DES placed and no problem yet till 1.25 years. Suddenly day before yesterday he suffered from breathing difficulty and immediately went to primary hospital and took ECG. But no critical problem was not identified. But suddenly he went through severe heart attack and died. Why it is happening suddenly, some of them are living 8-10 years after stenting. What is the problem here? Please confirm

It's very difficult to accertain.
Life span of stents vary significantly between patients. It depends on multiple factors.
Heart attack which presumed to be the reason here can be due to multiple factors causing stent blockage or new progression of previous disease it self.
Most of the times it is unpredictable.
What ever the reason it's very unfortunate.
