Hello doctor,
Due to pain and uneasiness, an angiography was suggested, and I underwent the same. Please advise regarding cardiac surgery.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Chest pain leading to cardiac surgery is usually due to blockages in the artery. Kindly upload lab test reports and any other attachments. Thank you.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I need clarity on whether stenting or bypass surgery is required. If stenting, then how many stents, and what is the chance of recurrence?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). A bypass surgery will be the best option because of a significant blockage of 90 %. I wish you a quick recovery. Best regards.
