Hi.. This is for my relative.. He already underwent a open heart surgery on last year for the Block and now again doctor found another 2 blocks in his heart and said some 90%... I dint understand that properly.. Is this a majour problem? is there any remedy for this other than operation?
Hello, You need to understand the report properly from doctor. Did doctor mentioned regarding the previous blockages only. Because, in bypass surgery, the original blockages remains as it it and surgeon attaches extra vessel to the vessel after blockages. So the old blockages will always remains. Did he mentioned blockages in the new bypass vessel or blockages in the vessel which were not treated previously. If this is the case, then yes certainly will need further treatment with angioplasty. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
