Had an appointment with the cardiologist yesterday. She went over the details of the intervention that took place. I was 95% blocked in the two main arteries that feeds blood to the heart. The LAD (widow maker) was treated first given this is the major blood supply to the heart. I received two stents. I had to wait until the next day for the second artery to be addressed. That artery received 3 stents. She said the plac in both arteries were mushy and didn’t appear to be near calcifying. Calcification means the arteries are hardening from the plac which puts me near having bypass means bypass. In my case bypass is not an option at this time.
I should note that I had another artery that was blocked 20-50 percent which at this time will be treated with drugs. As of now I’m scheduled for further test that will address the arteries in the legs and arms. Also, the heart appears to be undamaged.
