Stent before ablation

[Ivan_the_Terrible]

I am enormously grateful to this community. I am in an extremely good hospital but nobody speaks good English and I can't expect the doctors to spend too much extra time on me with my limited Russian and Google translate. Good news for those who read previous thread is that my stomach ulcer is not cancerous. Latest news is that they want to stent an artery before ablation. Can anyone say if that's a big deal, anyone have any idea how long it might take and advise as to relative costs of having a, stent fitted and an ablation so that I might estimate the additional cost? Thank you.

Sorry don't know about costs but if you need stents that is important to sort out first. I don't think the doctors know where and how many stents until they actually get into the procedures but it's important to sort out as you mustn't have any blockages. Good luck!
