Important question- I had a stent put in my heart in June. When I went to a visit to my cardialogist, he checked my heart and told me that I was OK, and said I didn t have to come back for aditional checkups, ( keep in mind I didn t have insurance, and had to apply for aid) later I talked to a nurse who had the same procedure, that told me her cardiologist, said it was important to come back every three mts for check up, did I get blowed off because I didn t have the insurance to pay the cost of the doctor bills, or was the nurse being used for her insurance benifits,
