Chest pain
Hi,
I have attached latest prescriptions , last week doctors have put 3rd stent as my father in law was having blockage in his heart, now today he went for general check up as he was having pain again , so now doctors are saying 2 more stent is required, so my queries are -
1.- Is it necessary for 2 more stents?
2- As he is 68 years of age adding 2 more stents which means 5 stents in total , that will be fine?
3- Also want to know - for Human body how many stents are safe?

Share the angio reports please. If he is not a candidate for surgery then only get the stenting. Otherwise surgery has better outcomes than multi vessel stenting
