Please check with your doctor if your prescription contains an ace inhibitor which is usually there in most post angioplasty prescription. It can cause dry cough. Stent will not be affected by cough. Other reasons are also possible but if cough started post angioplasty then this is quite likely
Next Steps
Consult your cardiologist
