Question: If one has heart stints put in, how long before a total 3 or 4 or 5 way bi-pass is expected to follow?
Answers:
After having a stent placed, some people never progress to bypass because they are now on medications to keep their cholesterol levels down, their blood pressure under control, have been given dietary guidelines and have been scared (by the possibility of death) into starting a daily exercise program (walking is easiest) so their heart disease does not progress. None of us can answer this accurately for you because of the above factors.
