You have received a short stent. If one year is over, generally better to reduce antiplatelet medicines from 2 to one. Since your age is 45, even if you take double antiplatelet for longer not much risk of bleeding, so you can do it either by gradually reducing, or suddenly stopping one of the two blood thinners. I usually prescribe clopidogrel for second year, and aspirin after the first few years, but with a short stent, whatever your Dr. decides is very likely to give good result. Best wishes.
