Cardiologist,  's  Response
From your history it is clear that you had a heart attack and stenting was done in infarct related artery,usually in setting of acute heart attack staging of procedure is done to reduce chances of complication and to give time to heart to get stabilised.so in your case second procedure of stenting in LAD is planned with such intention.however if you have chest pain though light in intensity but similar to heart attack pain ,then you should go back to your cardiologist for early intervention ,no need to wait.my best wishes.
