What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Left Arm Of A Heart Patient?
yes thank you I had a stent in the left carotoid artery and a bypass in the right one in 2009 I am beginning to get tingleing in my left arm again could this problem have come back I went back to my vascular surgeon regularly for 5 years and he always said everything looked good just wondering if I could have another blockage or is it possible

Hello,
Yes, blockages in vessels that have stents come back at quite a high rate. So much, that it isn't possible to really tell about stent failure versus a new problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
