Hi Mark, I had two stents placed in my heart in May 1998 and 4 months latter had to have three more placed, one had to go inside of one of the prior stents because it collapsed, one for another blockage and the third was to fix a small tear. My last one was in 12/2007 for a total of six-heart stents. So they may be able to open that old stent up and place a new one in, like they did mine, but it may also depend on how big the vain is, if its to small they may risk tearing it and cusing even more damage.
