Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could A Grown Artery That Was Not Clipped Off During Surgery Be The Cause Of Chest Pain And Jaw Pain?
I had a double bypass 5 years ago. I still have a lot of chest pain, jaw pain and still get a lot of tightness in my chest. I also have a artery on the left side that has grown and was not clipped off during surgery. Could this be the cause of my pain?
Hello,I have gone through your question.you have completed 5 yrs of bypass ,so unclipped artery causing symptoms like this is less likely.what were your symptoms prebypass? If they were similar to your present complaint ,it may be due to new blocks at other sites .I request you to get your Stress test done.The report if abnormal then you should go for redo angio.If it is negative then search for non cardiac cause. My best wishes Dr.Teli,MD
