Do any of you know if they will take me off of Brilenta at my one year appointment after getting two stents last July?

Did they (Cardiologist) put you on a y RX?
If they didn't recommend a stent, I'd just watch for odd symptoms, take a Bayer a day, any meds they prescribed and thank God for the "warning" and the ability to prevent further damage. ♥️ Hugs

Sometimes the blood flow can actually reroute if the blockage is in small vessels. Treatment usually consists of blood thinners and cholesterol meds. Larger vessel blockages may require bypass surgery. I’ve had all of the above!!!
