Ask the doctors. Five years after I had a bypass operation, I developed chest pains, and my doctor implanted a stent that wasn't coated with any drug. After two months, the chest pain returned, and I was given radiation treatment. Now after a year, I still feel fine. Is radiation a long-term preventive treatment?
