Are Stents Or Open Heart Surgery Advisable For Blockage In Left Ventricle?
My husband has the following blockages in his left ventricle: 96% main artery; 95% left main; 60% left side; 95% Left bottom. On his right side he has a 75%, 50% and 40% blockage. He is 54 years old, 6' and 175# with heredity high cholesterol and has been on diet and medicine since 13 years old. Should he have had stents or open heart surgery?
In your husband's case the surgery may be better choice, but of course the last world is for surgeons, as they should see his echo and angiography results to decide if he is suitable for surgery.
Take care
