[|Human|] my husband had a angioplasty yesterday and they found two artery blockages and put in one stent and couldnt clear the other.  He is a chronic marijuana user and after 5 days in hospital is home now and smoking marijuana again.  I am worried that this will have the same effect as smoking cigarrattes.........will it?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully though your question and would explain that marijuana can lead to chronic changes to the vessel walls, like smoking cigarettes. I would strongly encourage stop smoking marijuana for this reason. Stents are very likely to get blocked again in a short period of time of cardio-vascular risk factors are not maintained under control. You should discuss this with your husband. If it is difficult to stop marijuana, you should consult with a specialist of this field. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,
