how long can we expect a 71 y/o male to live after complete LAD occlusion? questionable annoxia for 13 to 17 minutes. 33 degrees achieved 25 hrs after the event. Stroke documented via catscan. 10 days later patient is awake, walking, talking but exhibits confusion and severe short term memory loss. toes turn in when he walks. Some balance problems
HI, Thank for asking to ChatDoctorIn such cases some time physiological bypass takes place, and it is called co-collateral supply of blood that gives many good results so looking to this it is difficult to say anything, he is almost 71 years old with great risk, so anything could happen at any time, have nice day
