From stent to surgery
You may have seen my previous post but to recap, mum had a heart attack on Wednesday morning. She had a couple of stents put in to a blockage and went for another angiogram today. Unfortunately there is a calcium and fat buildup which is not suitable for stenting. She has been told she will have to

How did my dad get so sick so fast? Treatment emergent metastatic small cell cancer of the prostate.

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

Has anyone had hepatic artery narrowing?
Dear All, I am back here again absolutely dumbfounded. My husband had a chance CT scan which revealed narrowing of the artery join to the aorta (he had an aneurysm repaired some years ago). The team decided to get him in for a stent. Well, after a lot of deliberation and and hesitation. They did not

Muscle wasting
Hi all. My mum is 77 and had a heart attack and heart failure six months ago. They couldn’t put a stent in her blocked artery so she’s just managing off medication.

Blood clot after heart attack
Hi, I have just joined this community after my Husbands heart attack. He had the attack monday 31st and had 2 stents inserted, he was meant to be released from hospital Friday but they are now keeping him in probably until Wednesday. This is because he has a blood clot and he is now on warfarin.
