My doctor has just given me some good news. He told me that after about six weeks, I won' t have to take the Metoprolol beta blocker anymore because the area of the stents will have endothelial cells growing over the stents, and will no longer be subject to damage. Dear George, Thank you for sharing your good news - we all need to hear that from time to time. I hope you find this information useful.
