RE: My Father Is a Strong Man, So Am I: Facing Challenges Together
If someone gets three stents and doesn't undergo a Bypass - just Angioplasty... What does that mean? The blockages are not in the major three arteries? Can two stents be placed in one artery if the blockage doesn't open with one?
Anyhoo, I already read about the successful surgery on Huzaifa's blog. I'm very happy for your dad. He will regain his strength soon Insha'Allah.
P.S. I thought you were the youngest of the Naveed clan.
Good Question. If someone gets three stents instead of undergoing a bypasss so it generally means the blockages are either not in the major coronary arteries or are in locations where the angioplasty is considered to be a better option than Bypass (Depends on various factors). Multiple stents can indeed be placed in one artery if needed, especially if the blockage is extensive or doesn’t fully open with a single stent. It's a complex decision that depends on the specifics of the blockages and the overall condition of the patient evaluated by the Heart Team of the Hospital.
thank you for your support and prayers And about being the youngest no, I'm not! But I'm proud to say that we've all inherited our parents' resilience
He will regain his strength soon Insha'Allah.
Amen.
Ameen. JazaqAllahu khaira.
