Because it's risky

So is living with blocked arteries ;)
Imo I'd find a bad *** surgeon, who has done thousands of these and get it done. Get your life back and feel awesome!!
And I am not just someone talking ****. I'm only 29 survived multiple pe's, had cardiac surgery and have had someone go in my heart 7x.
I'm Also a nurse and trust me when I say quality of life is better than quantity. At least from what I have seen and experienced.
I hope I've helped. Please feel free to tell me to shut the hell up if I sound sucky lol
