Angiogram with a view to Angioplasty

After an echocardiogram and an angiogram, things were followed up with another Angiogram - this time with x-ray visuals , with a view to angioplasty (stents). The out come was, that half way the procedure was aborted as the LAD was 90% blocked - as were the diagonals. It seems the situation is quite tricky to sort out. However, I now have a date for the pre- op assessments and, to meet the surgeon, with a view to undergoing bypass surgery. Not necessarily CABG - but possibly, using very modern techniques via small incisions in my breast - thus leading to far quicker recovery time and less time in hospital. I’ll let you know how things go…😊. BTW, I am in the U.K. 🇬🇧
