What Causes Heart Attacks After Insertion Of Stents?
I had a widow maker with 100% blockage in one side and 2 stents placed and 80% blockage on other side. Since I have had two small heart attacks both while on the table at different times. I was brain dead for 15 minutes. I was a police officer working in the er at the time.

HI
Well come HCM
Ischemic heart disease with 100% block of coronary artery should be taken seriously because this may cause cardiac arrest even during the procedure of angioplasty, and this is very known even seen with 100% block and such attack is not because of the angioplasty, take care.
