How Can Blockage In The LAD Be Treated?
I have a stent that is blocked 100% in LAD. I have collaterals that bypass the blockage. I do not have angina and am fully functional with no pain and I work out three times a week. Is this something that would strengthen my collaterals or enlarge them for me. I have had the stent blockage since 2009.
