Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I read your question and understand your concern.
If he has complains such as: chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, severe low blood pressure or high blood pressure, I recommend calling an ambulance and bringing him to the ER immediately. It is important performing a careful physical examination and a resting ECG to exclude possible complications related to the stents ( like possible occlusion).
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
