2nd time was supposedly plaque coming back through the stents. Another 2 times (t least) a fractured stent. This time cardio mentioned regrowth through the stents so not certain myself. In hind sight it might have been handy if he could have taken a sample to confirm. Maybe my body is rejecting the stents by growing through them. I'm an engineer so it is a bit out of my field. I will ask today. Had another 11 vials blood taken this morning so they are testing for everything.


Edit: Pushka   Cardio tells me the arteries are growing back through the stents and rapidly. Not unheard of but not common. Pointed out a few narrow sections on the images and said "this is why I did not want you going home, if you were out walking and one of these blocked it would be all over". I guess I shouldn't have mowed the lawn the day before the op.

Will be seeing a Lipid specialist as an outpatient to try and find an answer as it effectively rules out ever having another stent.

In-case you were wondering, my cholesterol is 3.1 and LDL 1.1 .
