When is by-pass surgery necessary over a stent in the LAD?

I’ve had both a triple bypass and then, after one bypass failed, a stent. A stent is a much easier recovery. I had three blockages, 90%, 70% and 50% so the bypass was recommended. Both of my uncles had stents and lived into their 90s.

The stent is a lot easier to experience and to recover from. I can’t provide medical advice, but stents are a good option in my experience.

Thank you roslansky. I made an inaccurate assumption [aren't most of these inaccurate]. My significant problem is not in the LAD, but the left main artery. I am scheduled for open-heart next Thursday. But, thank you for your information.
