A new path - 6 weeks after Aortic Valve and Root Op
Hi, Today (6 weeks and 2 days) my surgeon has 'discharged' me following telephone follow-up conversation.

Criteria for choosing non-emergency CABG?
My dad is scheduled for an angioplasty next week. His flow test and scans have revealed at least three significant blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. The doctors are planning to insert stents, but said the cath will give them a better sense of the blockages and if CABG is the better option

Will my dad be okay?
Hi all - I’m writing because I’m really worried about my dad (62 yrs). He’s been having some pain between his shoulder blades while exercising for a few months now. He went in to see his cardiologist last week, and came back with a calcium score of 2200 and an appointment for an angioplasty + at least

Know About Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most commonly performed open heart surgeries. Generally patients with severe coronary heart disease undergo this type of surgery. In this type of surgery a healthy artery or vein from the body is grafted or connected to the blocked coronary artery.

Live alone; what help will I need at home after a CABG?
I'm due to have a bypass in the next month for 1, possibly 2 or 3, coronary arteries following repeat in-stent restenosis after 2 angioplasty procedures. My question relates to the extent that I'll need any assistance at home after leaving hospital given that I live alone. I'm sure I can arrange for

Stem Cell Transplant
I heard this can cure PV. Why the he is this not legal in the USA?! Obviously I can't fly to Panama to get this done and can't afford it. I'm sick of being fatigued!

Living with Chronic Neuropathic Pain
There is much money in the pain and drug industry. Ethics and the recipients of these drugs do not factor into the bottom line. Profit and Loss Statements mean percentage increases at any cost. It is sad that chronic pain patients are made to feel like drug addicts and treated in a most callous way.

Why can't I be happy?!
I feel I need to apologise about my post before I even start, as I'm sure it will sound silly and ridiculous. My husband had a stem cell transplant in January after being diagnosed with all last year. His counts are all good so far, he feels well in himself. I've recently had to return to work, so back
