Degree of stenosis?: Is the stenosis in the mid circumflex of mild, moderate, or severe degree? Would you happen to know the TIMI score of that lesion? (It's a rather technical question, so you Cardiologist will know perhaps but you may not). If it is TIMI score of more than 3, causing symptoms or EKG changes, then it can be "reopened" using angioplasty or a stent. Talk to a Cardiologist about it. The EF is little low
