There are different types of Heart Stents that we use to clear blockage in the coronary arteries of the heart. In this video, I discuss the different types, and how we decide to use one over the other.
Doctor thank you for your very informative video . I have got three blocked arteries ranging 50. 70 and 90 percent blocked. However I'm asymptomic . I run mist days ten Kms , am not overweight , gave up smoking 10 years ago and follow a diet . I have absolutely no symptoms currently and for last several years on medication . I am a border line diabetic and take matamorfim but sugar under control for last few years . I have been reccomneded a bypass but am not sure or comfortable due to my asymptomic nature and no pain or angina . Medication seems to be working . I'm 59 years , 173 cm and 70 kgs and generally follow a sugar free diet and minimis meat consumption. Appreciate your advice on whether the bypass will add value currently or I could continue on medication and lifestyle .regards
I suggest that you discuss with your doctor whether you would benefit from ischemia evaluation by performing perfusion stress testing. If there is ischemia, meaning reduced blood flow to the muscle of the heart, and depending on its extent, then a decision can be made. Also I suggest that you discuss with your doctor whether you would benefit from a echocardiogram to assess the heart function.

Hello Doctor; how long do stents last; I had 3 stents put in 5 years ago and still work out 2 hours every day? Thank you in-advance for your help
Most new stents last for a longtime, only a few percentage of the new stents narrow on the long term.
What is the name of the best stent used in your eyes Doctor?
Any of the new drug eluting stents from Boston Scientific, Abbott or Medtronic are good and have similar outcomes.
Meaning which one do you use? Nobody wants to come back a year later.

I have a question, sir. Is stent graft surgery is recommended for men over 60 years old?
There is no specific age limit for stenting

Yes this can occur provided the risk factors are controlled, and you are on optimal medical treatment and having a healthy lifestyle.

What are your views about EECP Treatment ?
This is for short term symptomatic relief of anginal symptoms with patients with significant coronary disease not amenable to revascularization.
