Travel after stenting

Posted By Marcy on November 11, 1998 at 09:26:50:







Approximately 2 months ago my 78 friend had a stent inserted after having suffered an MI, with subsequent restarting of his heart twice.  He spent 5 weeks in the hospital and 7 weeks at home.  He was told to take a stress test so he could begin Phase 2 cardiac rehab.  His stress test lasted 2 1/2 minutes because his legs gave out.  He has made an appointment to start phast 2, but now hewants totake a vacation to Hawaii (9 hours by plane).   Is travel for this length of period safe?  He asked his cardiologist, but did not receive a reply.
