79 Year Old Female Needs Medical Clearance For Surgery (spinal

79 year old female needs medical clearance for surgery (spinal stenosis). Had stent in 2006 and am doing fine (no meds). EKG was fine but now also wants nuclear stress test because of stent. Do not
want this. Would echo suffice? Is stress test really necessary?
