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

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

Hi everyone, I'll try to keep this one short today and not write a doctoral dissertation of emotions. That's how I feel and at least with my "community fam" - it's a no judgement zone. I'm feeling fair since the Kidney Stone/Lithotripsy Stent Procedure surgery. That's a mouth full (right) - some days

Travel insurance to cover Endometriosis when waiting for surgery
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a travel insurance provider that would cover me for Endometriosis and Hydronephrosis (due to Endometriosis). I am struggling to find anyone to insure me because I am on a waiting list for a laproscopy and i need my kidney stent changing in June.

BP with COPD and Thyroid
I’ve been on 75 aspirin; bisoprolol 6.25mg daily; Ranolazine 375mg twice daily; and PRALUENT injections from when I had a stent fitted and my bp 145/78 pulse 58 which was great but my bp has gradually increased to 157/85 pulse 67 , I was on Allopurinol before stent was filled but I kept swelling up!

heart failure…. How to help
Hi all, my husband has been diagnosed with heart failure in the past few days. He is currently in hospital following a high AF attack. He is also a diabetic - they are tinkering with his meds currently- but no mention of surgery. He had a stent fitted five years ago. I’m so frightened that I am going
