After you get a drug-eluting stent, your healthcare professional may prescribe medicines, such as aspirin and statins, and lifestyle changes. These treatments may help keep your heart healthy and prevent blockages and blood clots. To keep your heart healthy, do not smoke, eat nutritious foods and get plenty of exercise.
