hi I,m a new cardiac patient. my question is, I had a major heart attack,& a mild one. I am a little scared of what the DR told me recently. I was taken to our cardiac hospital as I call it. the saint john reginal hospital In Canada by the way.anyway the DR had went into my heard 3 times, the first time I had torn arteries in 2 places so they put 1 stent to fix it, I was taken back to my room, within the hour I was taken back to the or for another procedure, they put the 2nd stent in. this time they went into my heart, & told me they were 90% sure of by pass surgery, but upon further checking this would be impossible to do. reasons first my problem is in the bottom of my heart, my heart is like cracked wall paper, my vessels are thin & all cracked, so by pass is out because there really isn,t anything to sew to they are too small also. some I understand but I,m not a DR, so my question for DR,s was what happens next . if nothing else can be done for my heart where do I stand, it,s hard for you to give me an answer, but can you gie me some kind of direction. please help thank you
