Diet After Cardiac Stent Placement

After undergoing coronary stent placement, patients should generally follow a light diet and avoid excessively fatty foods, as high-fat intake may exacerbate arterial hardening and promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaques—potentially leading to occlusion of other coronary arteries. It is advisable to consume more vegetables, fruits, and other vitamin-rich foods. Additionally, patients should actively take medications—including antiplatelet agents, lipid-lowering drugs (to stabilize plaques), and blood-activating and stasis-resolving agents—as prescribed. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are essential, and medication regimens should be adjusted under the guidance of a physician.
