LAD Bypassed then Native LAD Stented

Hello just wondering if anyone else has had this procedure.

My LAD was bypassed in 2015 and in 2018 was stented through the bypass to increase the blood flow. After some real shortness of breath on exertion and arm pain my Cardiologist carried out an Angiogram to see what was going on. He decided to Stent my Native LAD to again increase blood flow. In his words it may not cure the shortness of Breath but may alleviate the pain ( which was being controlled by Isosorbide and GTN ) well it did get rid of the pain, but not the shortness of breath. Which is put down to Heart Failure EF 39 % he said sorry you will have to live with the short of breath nothing more I can do . The guy is so straight forward and honest I believe in him totally so here is hoping Meds get better and I can live to be a 100 or so.

Regards a very young 74 yo soon to be a 75 yo.
