I Kanaaz, Thanks for the note,
I have not recently read any updates on the procedure, I will check this out. I have been informed that the technology is getting progressively better. Cardio can do another bypass but there is a risk of losing the graft on the one Mammary artery that is still functioning. I would still like to hear from anyone who has had this PCI procedure, preferably recently, to learn about the experience and outcomes. Should I set another post for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention? Maybe that will be more direct since it involves the procedure rather than the condition.

Sorry, I meant to say Hi Kanaaz, (wireless keyboard) Thank you for the reference. I did read the article and there is quite a lot of medical terms I don't understand but it does appear that the procedure has undergone many advancements in the last two years. What I learned most from it was to find the right PCI Operator who has performed more than 300 or does 50+ per year. I printed the article so I can reread it a few times and hopefully digest it further. Thanks again for your help!
