There is a speech on youtube by Cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhota here


The scientific evidence is NOT to use stents on stable heart disease unless the patient has had a heart attack. But given that its the main artery and a heart attack would be known as a widowmaker, I would consider a bypass.

That's what I would like to have muscleriot. But I've been told several times that they won't do something as serious as bypass for just one vessel. They will only do it in a case of multi-vessel by pass. I though that there had to have been a time where multi-vessel bypass could have been done. It wasn't and out of the 18 stents I currently have, 4 of them are in the LAD.
