With variant angina (arterial spasms) and calcified and brittle arteries that is exactly what I am concerned about.
How did they detect it and monitor it's recovery?
Not necessarily, Ed. I had in the RDA a perculating problem with blood flow with clots that set up a vibration in my arteries about seven years ago. I think it was caused by stents placed at opposite ends of the RDA and the artery started shaking, and finally leaked. I was lucky, the leak was slow, and fixed with a really long 24 mm stent.
I trust all is well in your shire, Ed. I've had a rocky road to ride, but I'm still standing!
Your arteries are not going to rupture unless you have an aneurysm and thats totally different to CAD.
I had a triple bypass four years ago, and it failed. It plugged up quickly. I had a high-risk stenting procedure on my native arteries, and still have a 65% blockage in the LAD that is too risky to fix.
I'm still standing, but it requires close attention to diet. I moved into CHF quickly, but still enjoy a good quality of life. I just don't make long term plans!
If your bypass is still patent, I'd reduce your stress level by simply doing the best you can with diet and exercise.
