Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this vessel stenosis. It is never good news having a problem with the heart vessels as this can easily lead to heart attack. In any case, a single vessel that supplies multiple distal branches would be more concerning than just a single of these distant branches being affected. Should a heart attack occur on this, the territory affected would be a lot bigger than would have been if this occurred in either of the distal vessels.

In all, more concerning than if it were just a single distal branch that was affected. Work with your cardiologists on getting this fixed.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
