View allMy mom's in the hospital with what's been diagnosed as an MUI heart attack. The doc's saying there's two blockages: one in the LAD that's 80% and another in the LCX at 99%. They've recommended doing angioplasty twicefirst for the LCX, then for the LAD. Is it really necessary to go through the procedure twice? Would love some advice on this.
In cases where multiple coronary arteries have significant blockages, it is not uncommon for doctors to perform angioplasty on separate occasions to address each blockage individually. This approach allows for better management of the procedure and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider in this situation. The doctor may recommend starting with the LCX artery due to the higher percentage of blockage before proceeding to the LAD artery. The specific medications and dosages will be determined by the healthcare team based on your mother's individual condition.
