Explanation:
Right coronary artery stent placement is done by insertion of a flexible thin catheter through insertion points in the arm or groin.

The patient’s groin pain at the insertion site will subside within a few days till it’s healed completely. Sandbag can reduce the pain.
The new medication regimen along with advice to stop smoking is to maintain a good cardiac health. But the patient feels is quite tough to follow since he works along with people who are smokers which can lead to passive smoking. Passive smoking is one of the potential risk factor for coronary artery diseases.
Antiplatelet medications like clopidogrel, aspirin etc are prescribed to maintain normal blood flow.
The patient should take the new medications and should restrain from both active and passive smoking to reduce his cardiac risk factors.
