no stent-tortuos artery

Hi all who replied. I did have angiogram, apparently the LAD is 65-70%, then another part 74%, BUT it is what they call a tortuous artery, really curved and twisted, looked like a country lane on the angio, with corners! So apparently difficult to stent and made the decision not to and treat with meds. Bisoprolol, Ezitemibe and Aspirin. By the way the Angio was fine, except the trainee cardiologist hacked away at right wrist, then decided he couldn't get the wire up, so opened up left wrist! At least I have matching bruises!😍

Glad you survived - I had matching terrible bruising on both wrists - hope you feel alot better soon and I was surprised my arm which was used did go a little 'puffy' but that did calm down. Take it easy and good luck with your recovery 🤩
