Acute MI - Angiplasty performed
While recovering from Hip surgery, my mom aged 77 years suffered a sever MI and Angioplasty was done the same day for proximal 100% blockage in LAD. the Angiography report shows 90% bloackage at crux in distal segment of RCA amd minimal plagues elsewhere.
The patient is now suffering from shortness of breath continously and on oxygen since last 2 days Her SPO2 was 60% when put on O2. Is this because the RCA was not stented? Why is this so ? What is the prognosis?
