My vascular surgeon said same plus- if there was a problem pacing stent they would have to go to open correction with bypass.
To prevent blood clots I took an anticoagulant for a certain amount of time- don’t remember how long.
Another point- once you have bypass, there may be a need for repeat surgery. The less surgery you have, the less risk for scarring, adhesions and hemorrhage. This is what I learned.
Who knows- I may still need a bypass if my stent crumples up, for now I’m good.
Nothing is easy! 🙂
