Coronary Artery Disease
Posted: 12-21-03 18:17pm

I have 3 stents consecutively in the right coronary artery. Just below the 3rd stent, I have a blockage of 100%. This was found after a heart attack last week. The doctors can't perform an angioplasty because of the 100% blockage. The local bypass surgeon will not do a bypass because the veins below the blockage are only 1 mm in size.
Has anything been written on the subject of small veins?

Thanks,

larry
