Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that after the cardiac stenting your husband has started taking anti-platelet drugs and those are important to keep the stents patent. But antiplatelet drugs can yield risk for previous brain lesion that needs to be evaluated.
Its recommended to get a CT head done and personally consult a Neurologist for further evaluation and proper treatment.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
