He will be fine if he changes his diet and quits smoking. I got my first stent at the age of 47 after a major MI and a full occulsion of my Right Corenary Artery (RCA). I had 4 more put in until I finally said enough and had them do a quad bypass. Changed my diet, exercise, quit drinking, etc. Fine since the bypass in May of 03.
The one big problem with stents is even the coated stents will eventually block with plaque unless he changes his diet to low fat/fat free and gets on some cholestrol drugs like Lipitor, Crestor, Tricor, etc.
I wish him the best but let him know that he is in control of his destiny.
