Stent longevity
I was wondering what can go wrong with a stent after a number of years. For example, if a blockage forms again within the stent can they replace the stent or does it need to be bypassed ?

It's that that started all this I was fairly ill but recovered by being in bed (oddly enough I got my first negative test Easter Sunday

Stent for angina
I began to get a burning sensation in my chest when walking last year. Angina was suggested by the GP so I got a heart scan and one significant block was detected.

Husband needs quadruple bypass
Good evening all, I’m not sure where to start. My husband (62) was admitting to hospital 3 weeks ago with pneumonia and breathing problems. He has a routine heart ultrasound which showed severe heart malfunction. Last week he had an angiogram which we were told would diagnose the exact problem and probably

Heart Attack Again
In March 2018 I suffered my first heart attack followed by multiple cardiac arrests resulting in 3 stents in the LAD. Made life style changes such as eating healthy foods, reduced alcohol and lost weight. Fast forward to Nov 21, two days after having the 3rd Covid Jab, had a mild heart attack (NSTEMI

Stents AFTER Bypass Surgery and fully occluded LAD.

My LAD is chronically occluded and my consultant has said he will try his best to stent it. Fortunately, the blockage is lower down the artery which is why I haven't (praise God, as yet) had a

GTN Travel
hi folks Just a quick question. Will my GTN spray get passed airport security as travelling to Thailand to visit my daughter? I’ve not needed it since my stent implant but it’s a reassuring comfort to have in my pocket. TIA Andy

After CABG how long before blocking could reoccur?
Hi all. I had triple CABG almost 4 months ago and im fine, getting good exercise. I have no problems but feel bit bad for not eating as well as i could all the time. Most of time im good, but not perfect. My question is how quick could arteries clog up again if you dont get your butt in gear? Thanks

Heart Failure post CABG, collaterals
CABG is supposed to help us but i see most of us having heart failure post CABG. I knew that collaterals that we develop are like natural bypass and it protects us but in spite, of that I went for CABG and i have heart failure ever since. I regret that I did not take multiple opinions. Wanted to hear
