My Dad is having stindts put in his Carated arterys?? anybody here had that, he opted to go that rout instead of the procedure where they cot your neck open and clean them out manualy. Dont know what I think about that. When they put the stindts in my ticker thats when I had my heart attact.???????????????????????

I would suggest using the internet to research your issue. The procedure is not as good as you think and everyone's body acts differntly. Coronary Artery Disease

Re: Back to the hospital !!

I had that surgery a couple of years ago. Went the roto-rooter route. It was kind of a rush deal, as I had a mild stroke and both sides were effectively blocked.<br /><br />Apparently blood flow to the brain is relatively important.<br /><br />My neurologist calls me her "miracle" patient, as according to the test results before surgery, she couldn't figure out how I was walking around.<br /><br />A long time habit, I suppose.<br /><br />I have no idea which is better, whether stents or not. I'm doing fine now, and the surgeries (2 of them) was no problem recovering from--The stroke, however, was a bit bigger deal, but it is getting better.<br /><br />Good luck

My Dad had stints about 3 years ago, been much better ever since, also got a pace maker, cause his heart was slow. Glad to hear all came out well!
