Janell, I am quite comfortable with both of the providers I have talked to. The original one is in a smaller city, but with a good cardio care program. The other is in a larger city and is affiliated with a cardio-care hospital.
This last one was the second opinion and I was not expecting this. Thus, I am having a difficult time making up my mind as to just what I want to do. However, the more I read about the procedure the more convinced I am about the surgery. Thank you for your information.

I am glad you are getting more comfortable with your situation.

I certainly do not want to add more confusion. I did do a quick search up at the top of the home page for “stent and bipass”. It does mention multiple vessel and your problem is isolated to the LAD. It doesn’t look like there has been much activity in the conversation for a while, either. Still, you may find others may have good info to offer:

How are you feeling?
