How often should a heart stent be checked?
I had a heart stent surgery 6 months ago. I feel fine. How often should a heart stent be checked?

Your cardiologist will decide that, usually a Stress Test now and then.
At least annually.

Thanks for your concern,
If your surgeon has not laid a control plan for you, you should contact his or her office and ask for one. It is customary and usual for a plan for control to be laid by the surgeon at discharge.
