Dilemma of choice of having angiogram and stent procedure
Following a telephone appointment 2 weeks ago the doctor said he was willing do a partially blocked artery stent if I felt I needed to if still getting problems I told him I was eager to get done I am also to see him in about 2 months for echocardiogram besides to see how my heart is behaving now

Hi all Well what a week that was had a ERCP on the transplanted liver graft , which I received pre covid thank goodness in March 2019 So had a stent put in on a narrowed bile duct and to say it hurt is an understatement, they sedated me but the pain was almost unbearable to a degree that I nearly had

I’ve been reading the posts about vitamin b12 and restenosis. I’m looking for good recent research but can’t find any. Anyone got a link?
I’m on b12 injections. I’ve been on a PPI long term which can reduce your absorption of b12. I have 1 stent now and so far have continued with the injections. I’ve seen a 2004 report and read it’s controversial. This report didn’t look at b12 supplements alone. Any suggestions about where to get some

Tiredness
Morning, had a HA last August and had a stent fitted. Was tired for a year or two leading up to it, but still very tired. Any thoughts please?

Abraxane/Taxol, mixed response and what are they draining?
Hi lovely ladies, I recently posted about cannon balls in my abdomen, it turns out I’ve been growing a cyst which oncologist thinks could be a reaction to chemo, undecided as yet. (Only took 6 weeks to eventually examine me!)) Onc said Cyst needed draining but hospital admission letter for tomorrow

Having a tooth out
I am going to have a tooth extraction the dentist was worried that I am still on blood thinners to help with my stent fitted in April 2021 ( coming off these tablets which I take twice a day end of this month) The tooth is a large tooth at the back as I said the dentist was worried about the bleeding

Use of Clopidogrel
Can you use clopidogrel 75mg instead of aspirin 75mg for mono antiplatelet therapy for long term use ( many years) after stent ?

Vitamin B and stents
Good morning all, I had a heart attack last year and had two stents fitted, I'm pleased to say I'm completely over it and until a couple of months ago life was brilliant. Two months ago I ruptured a disc in my back, the pain was unbelievable when it happened as the rupture had apparently trapped the

Should I feel better by now?
Hi All, I am wondering how people generally feel after a stent procedure. Three weeks on I don't feel as good as I felt before (I didn't have any symptoms particularly) and am getting mild chest pains/tightness and a need to rest if I do anything slightly physical. I am not breathless but every now and

Lipoprotein a
Hi. Does anyone have high lipoptotein A. Any success in reducing it? I'm 52 years old and have been told my coronary artery disease is premature so I was referred by cardio team to the lipid specialists. I was/am in good shape, decent weight/BMI and fitness. I'm now 8 weeks post-CABG x 2 and 7 months

Norovirus and meds
Morning hearties, I am now on day 3 of an aggressive bout of norovirus. Without being too graphic, I’ve not been able to keep anything inside, as soon as I take the meds they are back out again. I’ve been on the normal cocktail of drugs since my HA and stent 10 months ago. My heart rate has gone to
