What Is The Survival Rate After Having Heart Attack Followed By Placed Stent?
A friend of mine had a widow maker heart attack. A stent was placed. He s in the hospital, cracking jokes. But he told me in all seriousness that a widow maker heart attack had a less than 10 percent survival rate. Is there any chance of that improving over time, such as, if he survives 30 days he s more likely to survive?
