Hello Dr Ashok
Its a pleasure answering your query sir, after going through the details provided by you i want to tell you that Xience V is basically a EVEROLIMUS drug elluting stent which means that the drug itself is coated with a drug that help prevent thrombus formation in the stent. Rest all the meds which you have been prescribed are good.
Being a doctor you must already be knowing the general precautions however in specific you need to continue all the meds as advised, low dietary salt intake, and to completely stop smoking (IF YOU DO).
As you RCA was 60% blocked probably thats why they have opted for stenting. CABG is usually advised in diffuse, multiple lesions and lesions involving LMCA. Also in your case you were having an acute MI that time in which condition the early the treatment the better is the recovery as TIME IS MUSCLE in acute Myocardial Infarction.
Good Luck
