Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that it's not advisable to take viagra as of now.

As you just got your stents a month ago so it's advisable to wait for another one month. As viagra is a vasodilator so it can cause a significant decrease in your blood pressure so you have to monitor your blood pressure.

Also before starting consult with your treating cardiologist regarding this and yo make sure that you are not taking any type of nitrates.

Viagra should never be taken if patient is on any type of nitrate as it can cause sudden collapse of blood pressure which can be fatal.

I hope this information will be helpful.

Kind regards
