Other than the baloony thingy is there other shit they can do
coronary artery bypass graft
CABG
open surgery
They won't do open surgery
may still be amenable to some sort of stenting
I don't know the exact situation
can do medical anticoagulation but that's of limited effectiveness
he's already had it likely anyway
a collateral circulation develops anyway
depends on what vessel it is as well
Major bypass surgery was done 19 years ago, stents put in 2008
Each heart attack is a new area
Borrowed time
oh okay
nothing can be done then
just aspirin, clopidogrel, statins
yeah my mom is getting a stent put in today supposedly
a stent where?
she just said two arteries are clogged
since they said it wasn't bad enough
stable coronary vessel disease is a different disease almost
yeah, she's never had cardiac symptoms. just a very faint murmur she's had for years and years
ekg always comes back good
that's why i asked
she's had chest wall pain since as long as i can remember but i chalk that up to smoking and coughing constantly
it's controversial to stent such a person
SEE
fuck man
unless her chest pain is definitely cardiac
it's most certainly not
then there is no proven benefit to angioplasty and stenting
this has caused significant controversy
that's what i suspected on the fucking phone to her
but she insists on having yet another procedure done
to assuage her own fears
I haven't told you my opinion
just what the mainstream position is
what's the hessian perspective
I don't think its egregious to have stenting with major vessel disease
