Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
I understand your concern and would explain that the other artery is blocked 40%, based on your report. There is no need for stenting now as there is no risk for blockage. Medical therapy ( antiplatelet agents and a statin, coupled with antihypertensive therapy in case of arterial hypertension) are quite enough to protect you from another heart attack.
The main stented artery ( LAD) is OK now.
So there is no reason to panic!
I would just recommend you to follow up with your cardiologist and performing an echo stress test or stress cardiac MRI, in order to examine for possible cardiac ischaemia every 6-12 months.
A healthy lifestyle ( regular physical exercise, stop alcohol or smoking and Mediterranean diet) is recommended too.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,

Wishing Good Health and a Happy New Year!
Kind regards,
