Can patients eat sweet potatoes after coronary heart disease stent surgery?

Patients who have undergone coronary stent placement for coronary artery disease can eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rich in protein, polysaccharides, small amounts of fat, and various trace elements. They also contain abundant unsaturated fatty acids, which effectively inhibit the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the body. After stent implantation, patients should follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, avoid excessive intake of greasy foods, and refrain from consuming animal livers, seafood, and other high-cholesterol foods.
