Can Stent Surgery Be Done With Low BP?
My father has very low BP currently 106/51 and is due stent surgery on tuesday. Have discovered that stent placement can lead to low BP, will they continue with the procedure if his BP remains this low? If so what are the risks for him? He is 86 and cant have bypass surgery because of acute pancreatitis history.

Hi,
Certainly with BP stent surgery can be done. It can cause low bp if some complications occur but in most of cases it is uneventful and even if temporary low bp occurred it can be managed with medicine. I would suggest to go ahead.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
