Hello,
Unfortunately, there is not too much to be done in this clinical situation.
Stenting can be tried in case there is no presence of myocardial infarction, but now the damage seems to be done.
Anyway, I would like to directly review her test reports, in order to be able to give a more professional opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
