Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, sarcoidosis can not be confused with coronary artery disease (CAD).
You must be having blockage in any of the main coronary vessels which needs stenting.
You already have SLE (Lupus).
This causes arteritis and thrombosis in coronary arteries.
So you should definitely undergo stenting.
No harm in it.
And it is not misunderstood with sarcoidosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
