Is Stomach Pain & Indigestion Caused Due To Stent Placement?

My 75 year old male friend had a stent placed 4 weeks ago 90 percent blockage and will have another one placed in a months time that has a 75 percent blockage. Today he is complaining with an upper stomach pain much like indigestion and I am concerned. Should I be since he is in this condition?
