Had Heart Attack, Unable To Place Stent Due To Bent Artery. Is This Normal?

Thanks for posting your query.
Normally the nature finds its own way and alternate blood supply channels do develop in some cases. The doctor will do angiogram first to see how blood supply in that area is and what the status of block is.
In case as written earlier the blood flow to the distal part of block is good, then nothing needs to be done. Again your complaints, Echo etc.will help in coming to a conclusion.
Still if the block is critical and opening is necessary your doctor will try with bigger stent and use some special techniques to put a stent
In cases where still stenting is not possible and block is critical surgery do helps.
I hope this helps and clarifies your concern.
Wishing you all the best for the time come and good health.
Regards,
Dr.Pragnesh
