Hello , hernia is now a days done in local anaesthetic or at most regional anaesthesia , so it doesn't put much strain on the heart .
If you undergo a PTCA first stopping blood thinners in next six months even for 2 days for surgery has a risk of the scent closing down abruptly putting you at more risk .
So a hernia first followed by planned PTCA would be a wiser choice .
