I have just experienced a stent implant in my right coronary artery. It was 95% blocked. I am 51 years old. I was in good physical condition before the surgery. I was consistent in working out on the weights and somewhat consistent in running on the treadmill. I trained hard and lifted some heavy weights. I know that I have to start out light, but is there a chance that I could do what I did previous to the surgery, eventually? I mean the same thing as far as heavy weights? Do you know of any profession athletes that have stent implants?
I see that some important things for post stent surgery is regular exercise, but I am worried that I may extend beyond limitations.
What the average age for surgery of that type?
