hello ...
welcome to HCM...
as u told the history of ur Uncle, He is in coma, chances of coming out of the coma is better when his BRAIN is working normally. sometime many patient's heart and lung functions normally, but BRAIN DEAD, in this scenario its difficult. but in ur case, i hope he will come out, becoz doctors had already put the stent and treated.
wish ur uncle get well soon...
