11 months post quadruple CABG (25/07/23) after Nstemi heart attack (13/07/23)
Wow , what a month. Enjoyed that one 🤣👊🏻. Passed my module 2 motorbike test and got my full A license to ride unrestricted motorcycles. Passed in the Monday , picked up my 2019 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 on the Tuesday 🙌🏻. A couple of little issues meant that it went back to the dealer for some

CTO of AV circumflex
I had CABG just over a year ago. Continued to have same symptoms as before after discharge from hospital. Angiography revealed that CABG had failed. MRI revealed CTO of AV circumflex. Now been referred to interventionist to “risk assess” procedure. This I take to mean they will likely go nothing

Cabg triple bypass 4 yrs ago after 2 Ha's, 1 month ago HA and now on 5 more drugs for helping the heart more and angina. How soon is it possible to fly after this, my thinking is might as well rest in the sun as in the rain. Fit enough in my self - doing fair bit of walking, not out of breath or any

TIPS Procedure
I had a TIPS procedure done three weeks ago after ruptured varacies during a banding session. I was just wondering what others experience has been with TIPS. “Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a procedure that involves inserting a stent (tube) to connect the portal veins to adjacent

Being admitted for a triple CABG at lunchtime today.
I'm a bit anxious! Would appreciate a bit of reassurance. I'm worried about the post op pain mostly. Update: it's been postponed until next week. Got the phone call as we were getting into the car to go to the hospital.....

Post cabg.2- 16wk recovery review
I recovered well, no issues, but my cardio was very slow, and this annoyed me because pre op i was quite fit.I didn't want the op and didn't believe i needed it.Plus i was scared.The surgeon wanted a four way and i definitely wasn't having that.I said i don't want it to to fail, not two years in or ten

My 1st anniversary
Well I'm a couple of days late with this post, Friday marked the first anniversary of my heart attack that prompted a fasttrack journey through the NHS cardiac system and an experience of a number of cardiac procedures. In summary I had 2xPCI a year ago tomorrow. An echo prior to discharge led to AVR

Angioplasty tomorrow...in urgent need of advice asap pls
Hi all angioplasty booked for tomorrow but not sure if I should go ahead with it or just cancel. Reason for procedure: Doc wants to investigate extent of artery blockage in order to prescribe flecanide medication for afib. If blockage is severe he will fit a stent during the procedure. Got quite a shock

Reliance on Codeine
Following CABG five weeks ago I still have a lot of pain in my left leg where the vein was removed. I manage this through 2 paracetamol 4 times a day and 1 codeine tablet twice a day, having just reduced from 2 codeine tablets twice a day. This keeps me just on top of the pain. I'm wondering how

Coronary artery calcification, osteoporosis and B12 deficiency- what to do next ?
I have just been found to have coronary artery calcification incidentally when having a Lung Healthcare scan. This information was passed to my GP who wants to put me on statins (Atorvastatin 20mg daily). I have no idea of the severity or extent of the calcification, only that it was found. I don't

Failed angioplasty/ stent placement
Has anyone ever had a failed angioplasty when attempting to put in stents in an occluded vein? If so- has there been a second attempt? Was it successful? Thanks
