A member asked:
My father had undergone stress test with heart history doctor suggested not to undergo angioplasty again 2 time angioplasty done age 63 is it alright?

This depends on: Many factors but the simple question is: are medications controlling the symptoms? If yes, no stents required.

Complex: Your question is complex and cannot be answered without additional detailed information. Specifically, your father's spontaneous and stress-induced symtpoms, the presence and extent of ischemia on stress testing, the pathological anatomy on heart cath and the procedural details of his prior angioplasties. If you disagree with his doc, he needs a cardiology 2nd opinion.
