Hi everyone, I had my ha just under a year ago had stent fitted straight away but angiogram showed 2 more arteries partially blocked and would need further stents After recuperation was sent for another angiogram but told could not fit stents in the partially blocked areas as arteries were too narrow and could be dangerous The consultant said they were going to treat it with medication.Has anyone else had this diagnosis as worried still about partially blocked arteries

It is a bit frustrating, I really don't understand why they do that. It does weigh on your mind, especially if it is 70% blocked but they only fix 80% blockages. But in saying that, there are many who have blockages in the smaller blood vessels, they are treated with medications. Myself included. You have to focus on what you do have control over, diet and building up exercise. Wish there was a better solution. Take care.
