hello thanks foe posting here. i have gone through your case history. going by your description, you have triple vessel disease. since the circumflex artery is small and diseased there is no need to stent it. also since the RCA disease is quite distal there is no need to stent it. the LAD supplies blood to 60% of heart muscle. since you have tandem lessons in mid LAD, your cardiologist has adviced to stent the LAD. ANGIOPLASTY has very good results. since if it s done through a small puncture through your arm or the leg, the stay in the hospital is not more than 2-3 days, some doctors discharge the patient next day also. also since your heart pumping function is preserved you have a very good prognosis. the quality of life is good, patients are usually mobilised on their own on the next day post angio plasty. after discharge the patient is asked to refrain from strenous exercises for 4-6 days, after which they can go about their normal routine including running and jogging. the recuperation and future quality of life is very good. please dont worry and go what with your angioplasty. Stents usually function well for minimum 10-12 years. however you must be very regular on your medications and do annual health check ups. thank you
