Dear Worried,
Sorry about the health problems your husband is experiencing. I know it's rough on you too. But be of good cheer, heart disease can be reversed. Stint palcement is a temporary solution to the problem. Your husband (and you) wants to keep his heart and arteries in good shape so he won't need stints. Get a second opinion here.
Yours for Great Health,
Mike Farris
