Is It Safe To Have Another Surgery For Stents Within Months?

Twelve. Weeks ago I had a heart attack , I needed to have stent surgery and they implanted 2 stents, afterwards I still have angina not all the time but a couple of times a week, after going back to see the doctor who did the surgery he thinks it would be best to do 2 more stents in another artery which has 3 narrowings, this is planned for January how safe is it to do this so soon after the last op a?

Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.

I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.

You should know that if it is a narrowing in your coronary artery than the intervention shold be as soon at is it possible.If it os not an emergency, than you can take time to plan it.But you should not worry for the time you did the first intervention.This does not interfere with the next one.

The firs time you had an infarction and the stenting was an urgent situation.The next procedure, is a planned one to reduse chest pains and prevent another heary attach from tje other blocked arteryes.

As son as you do them the better is for you organism, so dont worry.

Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards,Dr.Ervina.
