Hello doctor! My father, 53 years old, has had 3/4 heart valve regurgitation for more than 10 years and has had a mild stroke, and has a history of high blood pressure. Now, my father has been recommended by a doctor to put a stent, but my family is wondering if it should be placed? So the doctor asked me, 53 years old with 3/4 heart valve regurgitation for more than 10 years and had a mild stroke, a history of high blood pressure, should I have a stent? If a stent is placed, how should the diet be maintained? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. Thank you sincerely!
