My husband is 66 & had a triple bypass and a homographic aortic valve replacement in 2002. About 10 days later his sternum was infected so he had the flapping procedure where they used the smaller pectoral muscles to pad the sternum. He currently needs more stents &/angio done near the aortic valve. he has 80% blockages. The doctors are making a plan for the procedure & we won't be seeing them until July 10th. . What are the chances if they have to open him up again? what are the chances they can do this with catherization? Has anyone had this kind of a problem? What were your results. Thank you for sharing.
Q: Success after triple bypass, aortic valve repl, flapping procedure & now more blockage?
