Sometimes bypass grafts close up and are reopened with stents -- or sometimes the native arteries themselves are reopened with stents. Share your experiences in this topic if this has happened to you.
I am a 54 male, I had a 3 way bypass 10 years ago. Since then I have had 26 stents placed in my heart. The doctor has opened up all my native arteries. Just last year he placed 3 stents in my legs after reaming out the plaques I feel like i have new legs and my heart pumps good, i walk every night, some times its long and a fast. I still work full time. My doctor has kept me alive and healthy. I now have 29 stents in my body, i hope I'm done. Thank you Dr. Shay. A guy from Illinois, Bloomington, Illinois, USA, January 26, 2012
