Brief Answer:
Double-vessel coronary artery disease

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I am assuming that you are talking about the arteries that supply the heart; there are 3 major arteries that supply the heart and out of these if you have 2 that are either completely blocked/collapsed (as mentioned in the history), then this is called double-vessel coronary artery disease.

I hope this is what you were asking for. If I have not understood your question clearly enough, please do write back to me and I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Work with your doctor towards keeping the unblocked artery unblocked

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.

The left circumflex branch of the coronary artery is closer to the collar bone, but I am guessing you are talking about the left coronary artery as a whole.

Prognosis for life actually depends on life style, dietary intake, stress, medication, and working towards helping yourself while living with double vessel coronary artery disease. But the average prognosis for life can be predicted at 5-10 years, which can reduce when complications like myocardial infarction (heart attack), arrhythmias, pump failure, congestive heart failure, etc; take place.

The best we could do to help him would be the angioplasty, but unfortunately as his arteries have collapsed there is nothing we can do to better his current status, and so the only thing left to do is to make sure his unblocked artery remains unblocked, so speak to his doctor about this and make sure everything is being done to keep that artery safe and healthy.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please do not hesitate to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
