Suggest Treatment For Critical Stenosis In LAD Other Than Angioplasty
My mother aged about 52 yrs, had a heart attack on December 27, 2010. and angiography done in SGPGI, Lucknow. The report is critical stenosis in LAD. Normal LCX and RCA with right dominance. Apex dyskinectic with normal LV size and overall normal EF 53%. ECG shows AWMI. She is also having hypo thyroidism since 5 yrs on tab Eltroxin 150 mg OD. Is there any alternative treatment for the above mentioned disease except Angioplasty

Hi
a patient cann be kept on medical management also but as lad is critically stenosed , angioplastry is a far better and safe option for increasing longevity of life.
In general, the LAD artery and its branches supply most of the interventricular septum; the anterior, lateral, and apical wall of the left ventricle, most of the right and left bundle branches, and the anterior papillary muscle of the bicuspid valve (left ventricle).So in lay man language its he most important artery of the heart,
medical treatment should be done only in case when financil problems are there otherwise go for stenting ASAP.
