my dad has undergone angio for cad how many stents are needed to be placed
hello I passed carefully through your dad medical history and tests and would like to explain that it is necessary to perform percutaneous coronary angioplasty followed by stents implantation in the right coronary artery in several segments 80 proximal stenosis but also in the distal segment where there are consecutive stenosis 80 90 so at least two to three stents will be most likely necessary to properly treat his ca right coronary artery on the other side life style modification would be necessary to stop the progression of atherosclerosis in several parts of the coronary arteries tree first vitamin b12 and vitamin deficiencies should be properly corrected then a balanced diet with low saturated fat animal fat and rich in green vegetables should be encouraged he should refrain from every smoking contact and periodically check his blood lipid profile and blood pressure values after tenting special antithrombotic drugs are prescribed as well I hope this helps
