Clopidagrel is the other blood thinner I take I started it after the stent
procedure.

@pianoman23 I was on Plavix 18 years ago, after I had a cardiac stent, but only for 6 months. At the time, I was not on Eliquis. With the leg blood clot, though, only on Eliquis. Plavix together with Eliquis will increase the chances of bleeding, so if the doctor feels like it is absolutely necessary, be careful to avoid injuries, and monitor other symptoms. Good luck. My stent for my leg is in my back, they tell me. The clot went from my knee and upon through my pelvis.
