You're OK, I don't mind the enquiry, things have changed since I had my stents put in in 2008, there are things I need to catch up on now, its all to do with the march of progress. The stent operation is a far less invasive procedure than the bypass and will serve most people well, but like most things occasionally it can go wrong.I don't want to bust anyone's thread but I have a genuine interest. My dad did the same, suffered with it for a few years, controlling it with medication until he had a heart attack and he was given a bypass and it never bothered him again for the remaining years of his life. My brother had chest pains, and was whipped into hospital the same day and had 5 stents inserted. I wondered if that was the difference between then and now, but probably more a thousand possibilities depending on the individual. I hope you don't mind the enquiry, I would hate to unsettle anyone.
