It all depends on the cardiovascular health of the individual.To minimize the chances of blood clots, surgeons prescribe blood thinning medication after they insert a stent in a coronary artery.

The coronary artery fills during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle
coronary artery disease is a build-up of fatty matter and debris on the walls of the arteries.

Coronary arteries. The orifice of the coronary arteries are located on proximal part of the ascending aorta, and there are two orifices branching into the left and right coronary arteries.The marginal, anterior and ventricular arteries provide the cardiac muscle with oxygenated blood.The coronary arteries are the major vessels bringing blood to the heart muscle. The are the left and right coronary arteries, the left having a common trunk followed by the circumflex and anterior descending branches. Each of these give off side branches which bring blood and hence oxygen to the heart muscle. Coronary arteries fill during diastole.There is a right coronary artery and the left coronary artery. In total there are four coronary arteries.
The coronary arteries. These leave the aorta and branch out over the heart. Blood only flows though these vessels during diastole because during systole they are blocked off by the aortic valve. The two main vessels that arise from the Sinus of Valsalva, located just above the aortic valves, are the right and left cornary arteries. The right coronary artery mainly supply the right ventricle and the sinoatrial node. The left main artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery. The left anterior descending artery mainly supplies the anterior and septal portion of the heart, namely the left ventricle. The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral walls of the left ventricle. Finally, the posterior descending artery can arise from either the right or left coronary artery. If the posterior descending artery arises from the right coronary artery, the heart is termed right heart dominant, which is seen in approximately 70% of individuals. If the posterior descending artery arises from the left circumflex artery, it is termed left heart dominance. It is also possible for the posterior descending artery to arise from both the right and left coronary artery. In this configuration, the heart is considered co-dominant. The posterior descending artery mainly supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle and the inferior portion of the septal wall.
Stent placement is part of more than 70% of interventional procedures.
Risks and Complications of Heart SurgeryUnderstanding the Potential Risks of Heart SurgeryEvery open heart surgery presents the risk of complications specific to the procedure being performed, in addition to the general risks of surgery. The risks vary from one type of heart surgery to another (including pacemaker placement, coronary artery bypass grafting,congenital defect repair, valve repairs and more), and may be higher if the heart is stopped and blood is pumped by a cardiopulmonary bypass machine rather than by the heart during the procedure.
Neither, theoretically the two ventricles contract simultaneously. The coronary arteries begin as two holes just above the leaflets of the aortic valve. During systole the leaflets block the coronary arteries and prevent blood flow to them. It is during diastole (of both ventricles) that blood returns to the coronary vasculature.
Through it's own network of arteries in the heart itself. These are the arteries that are disrupted during a heart attack, and they are also bypassed during a bypass surgery with veins from the legs.
