My finacee has had stents put in his
heart, but it has not worked. They gave
him 2 years to live but he has survived.
The thing is instead of him having surgery
they place stents in his heart. Now they
said its not working they said it to late
for surgery. I feel that is something they
can do. He needed a bypass surgery i think
he got scared to do it now it's too late
he works and still does evrything normal
he's not giving up. Now everyday he's
talking about dying i get so angry because
i think he has gave up. We have a 2 month
son and it hurts so bad. i tell him he's
not the only one suffering we are too with
him not being in our lives. He says I am
in denial i don't think so i just have
faith or maybe I am in denial I don't
know. Having a heart transplant was a
option i thought about but it's very
expensive. i don't know what to do. the
doctors said there's nothing he can do.
Have you ever heard of that I know there
is something. He's hurting bad physically
but he keeps on going. He's scared and i
think it makes him worser when he doesn't
visit the doctor everything is okay but
when he goes to see him he feel worser.
His doctor said he has a dead heart beat
what ever that is. He's 40 years of age
has anyone been through this I don't know
how to or what to do? I just so tired f
him talking about dying it makes me so
mad. But he can't get stress at all I
really need help. We are supose to be
married in a couple months.
Stents are usually put on places inside
the coronary arteries where there are
atherosclerotic plaques that narrow the
artery. By-pass surgery is used when there
are so many arterial narrows that the
whole artery should be replaced with
graft, usually a vein vessel. If the heart
is very damaged (a lot of myocard replaced
with fibrosis, very damaged valves...)
by-pass may be useless so only
transplantation can help.
Can you give me the precise diagnosis of
your fiancee's heart disorder? Did his
doctor explain to you why the by-bass
surgery is not possible any more? What did
the echo-report and coronarography say?
