Medication after HA & CABGx4
After my CABG in Nov 2020, I had a HA in June due to blockage of bypass. Artery that was bypassed and blocked is 55-75% stenosis. On top of the statins and asperine as a result of the CABG, I am now also on isosorbide-5-mononitrate and ranolazine, but not on clopidogrel or other blood thinners. My

Discharge at 6 week review
I had my CABG last September and was expecting a 12 month review. Having moved house in the interim, I phoned yesterday for an update only to be informed I was discharged at my 6 week review. Is this normal? I was hoping for some sort of check up, some reassurance, and general overview.

Atherectomy
Two months ago I posted about the decision to have a bypass when suffering from HF. I had major blockages in all three arteries which could not be stented normally. The cardiologists made the decision for me on the basis that a CABG was too risky for me.. They suggested an Atherectomy on the main artery

New here, cabg’ed
I’m new here. Cabg x 5 about 7 weeks ago. Dropped the codeine after about 2 weeks (weird dreams!) and slowly reading paracetamol. Following the advice, slowing increasing duration, not intensity of walking and only real problem is drain holes (2 of 3) not healing properly and starting a steroid cream

Dental surgery when on prednisone?
Unfortunately, in the year I have been on prednisone I have lost so much bone in my jaw that after the extraction I will also need a bone and

graft
before I can get an implant.
