How Dangerous Is Not Having A Stent Surgery For Right Heart Blockage?
My 51 year old son just had left heart blockage stent. Now doc says he has groin blockage and right heart blockage. He was told United Insurance is calling these two stent surgery elective. How dangerous is it if he does not have these stent surgeries?

hi
it is better to undergo the stent surgeries as early as possible to prevent total blockage & also sudden severe complications of the blockage hampering the coronary / cardiac blood flow.
percentage of block is also very important.
please continue with blood thinners, anti-cholesterol statins which he might have been taken already.
avoid stress & heavy meals affecting the problem to precipitate early before the stent surgery.
i really suggest you to undergo the procedure as early as possible, without delay or second thought.
all the best
take care
