The results from my angiogram are as follows...
Left main - severe disease.
LAD - proximally occluded.
Circumflex - severe atheroma throughout.
RCA - proximally occluded.
LIMA to LAD - patent
SVG to PDA - severe atheroma which is focal at the proximal part of the bypass graft.
SVG to D1 - moderate to severe proximal atheroma otherwise unobstructed.
SVG to PLV and OM1 - both occluded.
I have had an MRI stress scan since but don't know the results, My consultant is going to do 1 stent and that's it. There is nothing they can do with the 2 that are blocked.
I just wanted some Idea of how bad It is.
Please don't pull any punches.
Thanks
Bottom line - it isn’t great news, but then anything that says your ticker is not all it should be is never going to be great news. You really need to talk to your GP and your cardiologist to get a full rundown here. You could enter each one of your results onto google and build up a picture but be warned the results of these searches can be very alarming- if you want to do this try and stick to decent sites (NHS, Mayo Clinic for example). You could try calling the BHF help line as well.
Thanks Steve. I had 5 heart bypasses 9 years ago and was wondering how bad is was this time.
Is it your grafts that are now blocking up?
Yes unfortunately.
