Q. What will you suggest for heart block, stent or bypass?
Hi doctor,
My brother-in-law went for angiography, and he has two blockages 60% and 80%. Now, his doctor saying that it is urgent to get an operation and they will fix two stents. What will you suggest? Is it fine to go with a stent? Will it work lifetime? Or shall we opt bypass?
Hi.
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- If he does not have diabetes, then he can go for stents.
- Angioplasty cannot guarantee for lifetime. Angioplasty works well for a decade.
- Sometimes, a patient condition may not fit for CABG. Even CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) also cannot give a lifetime guarantee.
