What Is The Life Expectancy After This Procedure?

I received angioplasty and have two medicated stents. What is the life expectancy after this procedure? Do have a higher risk of dying early? I no longer eat red meat, fried foods, butter, etc. I only eat fish, turkey, and chicken. I eat broiled or grilled foods. Lots of fiber and take meds. Thanks.

Medicated stents once placed, usually protect for long. With that you need to continue life long aspirin and cholesterol lowering agents. Also continue life style modifications.
