Can THC Be Taken If Having Stent In An Artery?

I am 54 years old and had a blockage of 1 artery 3 days ago. The other arteries are clear. I have used thc for the last 10 years, mainly to sleep and for depression after my husband s suicide. I cannot envision living without it. Can I continue to use THC with my stent?
