A member asked:
Can a person with three bare metal heart stents be shocked by a defibrillator soon after stent placement. could holes in heart be caused by blowout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: "holes" in the heart may be the consequence of heart attacks but not from defibrillator discharges. Also they usually happen during/after the first heart attack.
