Hi
Most of the time ,stents for blockage after long duration post operatively are required based on the condition of the patient.
every time redo surgery is not the treatment of choice, as it has its own pros and cons, with surgical expertise
Hoping he will only land up with the stents
But be sure he maintains his diet and regular medication's
Take care
