Stent leangth covering LCX and OM
Hi doctor,
My mom undergone PTCA to LCX on couple of days before. before the opeartion doctor said we can have small stent which can be inserted to open bvlocked LCX artery which was 90% blocked.
However during the PTCA they said there are small blockzages at the end of this LCX vessel which can grow up in upcoiming days and we need to insert high length stent of size 28mm.
So my question is does insertying 28mm leangth stent was a good choiuce ? was that necessary?does this long length will cause any serious problem going ahead(for CABG)?
Please reply back with your comments.
Thanks and Regards,
Swapnil

Why cabg if there is a single blockage and for which ptca is already done long stent is put to cover the possible blockage with single one instead of two or multiple
