As a medical expert, I would like to clarify that the guidelines for flying after a stent placement can vary based on individual circumstances and the specific recommendations of your healthcare provider. However, as a general rule, flying is typically allowed after a period of two weeks for individuals who have experienced a heart attack with significant complications, such as heart failure. For those who have had an angioplasty with a stent placement, a waiting period of one week before engaging in flight travel is commonly recommended. It's important to consult with your doctor for personalized advice, as they will consider your overall health, the success of the procedure, and any potential risks associated with flying.

Flying is allowed after two weeks in a stable person if they had a heart attack that had major complication such as heart failure. If a person has undergone an angioplasty where a stent (wire mesh) is placed in heart arteries, then a waiting period of one week is recommended before flight travel.
