Bypass

Bypass

I had a heart attack 6 years ago and had a stent installed LAD. It plugged up after 3 years and I had another stent installed which plugged up after 1 year. I then had a robotic bypass and 8 months after that I had two more stents installed. 1 above and 1 below the other two stents.  Why after a bypass of the blockage would I need two more stents to increase blood flow in the same artery?

One would have to assume that you have developed occlusions either side of the bypass graft.
