Hi,
I guess it happened while you were medicine and you were well compliant with medicine. When stent is put in vessel there is inherent risk of blockages due to clot formation, it's attack. Stent has basically opened your blocked arteries but no one can guarantee that you will not have repeat attack.
It's like repeat attack in artificial vessel. This risk is highest in initial 1 year, later decreases. However, there are medicines to prevent it, which are not always cent percent effective. You can ask your doctor for new blood thinners like tab brilinta which further reduces chances of stent blockages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
