I have an extensive cardiovascular history for someone who is 59. To be totally honest, I do not understand most of it. I would love to have some "straight" answers. I don't know how much of my history you need to know.
March 2007 had a drug stent placed in LAD (was told he placed a stent inside a stent) April bypass in the left subclavian artery and left vertebral artery. Past history CABG 3 vessels 2000, LIMA to LAD, SVG to circ and SVG to ramus intermedius (occluded) I saw my doctor this week, due to angina. He said when he did the heart cath in March, there was a 60-70% blockage that may be restricting blood flow to LIMA bypass, but at the time he did not/could not deal with it beacuse of the subclavian blockage. When I asked how this could be fixed, he said to let him worry about that. He has me scheduled for a nuclear stress test, (which I always fail) then probably a heart cath. But I want the facts, no sugar coated .. what are my options??
Thanks for any and all info..
