What Is The Prognosis For Coronary Artery Disease?
December 2010 my husband had an angiogram and had 6 stents placed in the left side of heart. Dr said he couldn't have bypass surgery because he didn't have any good target areas. He is having some angina symptoms now, went to ER and was put on slow release nitro. What happens next if can't resolve with next angiogram?

Hello,
How is his heart function which is measured in terms of ejection fraction.
Its possible that there may be new blockages inside or outside the stent. So he should undergo angiography and if blockages are there they can again be opened with angioplasty. Otherwise he should continue all his medicine properly.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
