I had a couple of stints put in last year, and am duel anti-platelet therapy, namely low dose aspirin and prasugrel. They tell me the prasugrel is for a year, and the aspirin for life.

I haven’t had any noticeable bleeding issues, although when they take a blood draw they wrap me up pretty well I think just out of caution. It will be a year next month, so I’ll just finish the program.

I had open heart surgery last June to replace my aortic valve and repair an aortic aneurysm, I chose a pig valve instead of a mechanical valve, I was on eliquis for 3 months in addition to a baby aspirin.
