What Is The Prognosis With Stents In LAD?
I had the widowmaker and had two drug elluting stents placed back to back in my LAD. The VA increased my disability rating based on my MET functioning. I also have relatively controlled diabetis w/one functioning kidney What is my prognosis? A steady decline or what?

Hi,
It depends on many other things, if you take your medications regularly, your heart failure will be under control, your blood sugar levels are under control and you follow healthy lifestyle, then the prognosis can be quite favorable.
Take care
