Life expectancy of a 59-year-old male, type 1 diabetic after receiving a right coronary artery stent, while having the other side of heart scarred..?

Assumptions: Assuming that when they stented your right coronary artery, they didn't find any other severe blockage and that your ejection fraction is normal (>55%) despite the other scarring, your prognosis is very good (>90% 5 year survival for single vessel disease with normal lv function). Live long and prosper!

Difficult to sat: Risk assessment over 5 years as described is well validated. Predicting lifespan is challenging. Aggressive management of risk factors in close coordination with your doctors and specialists is crucial.
