Can I drink red wine after coronary stent surgery?
Disease description:
I've always had the habit of drinking red wine, but I just underwent a coronary stent procedure. Can I drink red wine after having a coronary stent surgery?
Generally not allowed. Wine contains a small amount of alcohol, which is unfavorable for patient recovery and can be irritating. After stent surgery, patients must strictly quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and take medications regularly as directed by their doctor. Diet should be low in salt and fat. It is important to take medication as prescribed, avoid irritants, and promote disease recovery. Patients need regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
