Balloon but no stent
So a question: A friend has just had an HA with primary PCI (so suffered a STEMI i guess) but has just had balloon
angioplasty
without a stent for treatment. Reading up this seems uncommon with 80% of cardiac
angioplasty
procedures appatently resulting in a stent emplacement.

Blocked LAD
Angioplasty
was abandoned and instead I had a stress test MRI. The doctor said blood flow was being restricted. I’m not showing any signs or symptoms and so he’s decided not to intervene.

Angioplasty
Due to have
angioplasty
in 10 days. I have a blocked LAD but my heart has done 2 by passes, to help, but they haven’t quite done the job. Exercise test showed st depression. Cardiologist is going to try and poke a way through, and stent the LAD. Anyone had anything similar.

Slightly breathless and lightheaded
I feel like I've got worse than I was before the
angioplasty
. I do have a review in a week so I will mention it but wanted some advice from here too. :) Thank you in advance for your help. :)

Re earlier post on different forum.
You would have thought drug therapy would have commenced immediately to prevent either a stroke or heart attack but NO, it wasn’t until i had the
angioplasty
in mid January which was followed by a mild stroke that they then started me on blood thinners.

Stenting my left Circumflex artery was unsuccessful
They were unable to stent my left circumflex artery via
angioplasty
2 days ago. They would like to retry to drill out the plaque and then try stenting. How safe is this procedure?

Post angioplasty 'angina attack' - confused.
3 weeks after a stent was inserted and all other arteries were stated as 'pristine' , I have had difficulty getting back to full physical activity. Yesterday I was 5 minutes into a short walk when I suddenly felt all energy go and had to stop... there was no pain, very minor breathlessness (if at all

Life Insurance
I turned 45 years of age six days after my angiogram/
angioplasty
. You would have thought that being a mum of two young adult children, I’d have got life insurance sorted. Sadly life simply got in the way and it just didn’t happen. I do feel guilty about that.

STEMI, feeling low and anyone tested for familial hypercholestrolemia.
Hi All, on 25th Oct, I had a STEMI on LAD, luckily managed to reach the hospital and emergency
angioplasty
was carried out. I am now recovering but has surely left a long term impact both physically and mentally. I am 47 and now with Low EF and generally feeling low.

Worried for my father
My father aged 58 had a widow maker heart attack in September 2020 and had initially ignored symptoms leading to delayed
angioplasty
by 4 days, where two stents were placed.

Fatigue and meds
Hi all, I had a heart attack in 2020, given balloon
angioplasty
and a stent, since then been on a morning dose of bisoprolol 1.25mg. I suffer very bad sleep patterns and fatigue, I read here some take it at different times yet my prescription just says "daily". Is it safe to try an evening slot?

How long to get better?
So my question is: how long does it take to heal after an
angioplasty
, etc? Meds such as bisoprolol slow my heart beat. Is this part of it? Thanks. This forum is great.
