Operation planned
I don’t comment a lot but I read many of your messages and questions and feel for you all. It’s a horrible journey to be on and I’ve previously been told I had IBS, low pain threshold (definitely not) and imaginary pain. It actually took a nurse to say to me when I came back for another suspected urine

Has anyone decided between CABG and a crush stent procedure (several stents lined back to back or one crushed so it can form a V)?
My dad had an angiogram this afternoon and the doctors are weighing these two options. I'm not familiar with these stent procedures and really worried about my dad. Any advice would be appreciated.

Concerned by chest pain
I'm starting to get worried now. Last week I was admitted to hospital after 4 days of chest pain. I underwent several ECGs and a couple of blood tests and the conclusion was that it was not a cardiac event. I'm now on my 8th day of chest pain. Where the pain is seems to vary - upper chest, lower chest

Is it possible to stent four arterial blockages in one angioplasty?
My dad (62) has at least four significant arterial blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. He's scheduled for an angioplasty tomorrow and possible stenting, but with so many blocks I'm worried they'll have to do CABG. Has anyone been in this situation and only treated it with stents and meds

DVT recovery 6 months in
Thought I’d share my experience and recovery in case it helps anyone else. February this year, I was admitted with severe DVT causing my leg to become ischemic, i am 33, fit and healthy, not overweight, non smoker and rarely drink, and no recent long haul flights. Although the cause of my DVT is unknown

310 Lb., 66 Year Old Man 11 Weeks After Cabbage.
I just signed up. I hope I can learn from all of you and contribute to the forum. I’ve had a couple of periods of time when I was in athletic tip-top physical shape at 210 lbs., but most of my life I’ve been a pig. I’m not a small fat man... I’m a stout large boned fat man... Based on many bone measurements

Stent lifespan
Do stents wear out and need replacing ? If so what is the normal life span of a stent ?

Bisoprolol and 'weird feelings'
I have a friend (yes folks, I genuinely do) who had a heart attack and a stent fitted 3 years ago. Amongst other things she was prescribed 2.5mg bisoprolol. This was upped to 1 tablet twice a day after she started to complain of a 'weird feeling that went right through her body and ended up in her legs

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

Routine check ups after CABG x5
I’m just asking out of curiosity - my husband had a quintuple bypass in Canada 2 years ago. We came back to the U.K. last August and gave the doctor all his records. Do people have annual checks with a cardiologist here or if you are ok is that it?

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

Blocked Artery
I live in Spain and was diagnosed with Angina some years ago and prescribed medication. After a few years my condition got worse I was given an angiogram, when they discovered a totally blocked artery. I was told that it was impossible to fit a stent and that it was not necessary to have a heart bypass

Scared after Heart Attack and 3 Stents
I had a serious Heart Attack on July 13th and received (2) stents - 52 year old male. On July 30th, I received a third, due to some additional blockage found. The 3rd stent was scheduled and not under emergency conditions. Overall, my Cardiologist was pleased and said all (3) stents were working well
