You should be able to return to your normal activities soon after your procedure but this will be determined by your doctor. Check with your doctor before doing anything that is physically strenuous.

The CYPHER^® Stent is not for everyone — especially those who cannot take antiplatelet medicine, or have certain allergies. It carries risks, including the formation of a blood clot in the stent, heart attack, and the possible need for a repeat procedure. The CYPHER^® Stent also carries the risks associated with the drug sirolimus. Talk to your doctor about these risks, and whether this or other treatments are right for you. Please read the Important Patient Safety Information.
