People with<unk>  have a low in-hospital mortality after treatment. However, the lesion may worsen after leaving the hospital within the first month. One study suggested a 1.2% mortality rate following<unk>  but a 19.9% risk for either death, heart attacks, or strokes. Even afterwards,<unk>  has a high recurrence risk at 30% within 10 years, often at a different site than the initial lesion - meaning that stents placed in the location of the first lesion may not protect against a second. Given the lack of consensus on the cause of<unk> , prevention of future<unk>  may include medical therapy, counseling about becoming pregnant again (for those who had pregnancy-associated<unk> , or avoidance of oral contraceptives - as they contain estrogen and progesterone.
