LMS stent

[N3ll1e]

Has anyone had a stent in the left main stem?

I've had 5 stents in the LMS/LAD junction. Originally they thought I only needed 2 stents but then when they started...

It took around 2.5 hours and angina kicked in when they started to inflate the stents. As soon as this started I told the consultant and a shot of morphine didn't help but the second shot made it bearable. That was three years ago, feeling great now and attending the local heart club every week for the exercise and friendship.

Good luck

Ok thanks for that I'm going down this morning! It helps to hear other people's experiences as I have been really anxious about it but i am quite calm at the moment!

Hope it all goes smoothly and you are home in a day or two...

Thankyou it's certainly put my mind at ease hearing others experiences.
