My dad came out of his surgery successfully. They put two stents in one artery, another stent in a second artery, and left the third artery for next week. If it was anyone else, or any other practice, he probably wouldn’t have had the option to get the stents instead of having oopen heart. As it is, he has about run the gamut of this technique–Dad has five stents in now, and one more next week. He’s feeling better already, though. His one artery was over 95% closed (almost completely closed, the doctor said) and once the stent is in you feel better immediately with the restored blood flow.
More later–I’m wiped, and I just had to fight the snow all the way back from Philly to home…
