Stopping stent restenosis
by johnnybgood75, Jul 13, 2009 06:31AM
Hi. My wife has had 3 angioplasties, the 1st in 2001, the second in 2008 and the last this year (2009). The procedure in 2008 resulted in restenosis of a stent and caused her to return in 2009. It seems that restenosis is occurring again as her chest pain is beginning to return.
We have already modified our diet and lifestyle and feel that apart from the issue of restenosis we probably have the heart disease under control.
Does anyone know of any way to stop or reverse restenosis which has already begun in a stented artery? We would like to find some way to do this so as to avoid the trauma of another invasive angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Thanks,
Johnny
