Treatment for Coronary Total Occlusion(100% blockage)

Do you have any options to get the mayo cardiologist or the mayo kidney doctor to “clear” his heart and the blockage for a kidney transplant (be willing to do kidney without fixing heart). As is. (If they agree with the other cardiologist it’s not a risk). This would seem possibly the best solution if they do think it is not a risk. However if they do think it is a risk then let them fix it. I know you have talked to a nurse but can somebody else help you get those answers such as the doctors.

@feelingthankful, we have a virtual consultation in February with a Mayo cardiologist. According to the transplant team, all cardiovascular disease has to be fixed before one is qualified for kidney transplant. Even if the Mayo cardiologist clears hubby's heart, we still have the kidney transplant team cardiologist to deal with. They also have to approve. If it comes to doing a bypass or not, my gut feeling tells me not to do it, if not necessary, even it means hubby has to forgo a kidney transplant!
