Poor Understanding: Pa might refer to pulmonary artery, or a variety of other possibilities. Stents or bypass for coronary veins almost unheard of, though commonly promoted for coronary arteries. 70 for stents is an absurd number, even 7 would be unusually high; poor practice. None of these solve coronary artery disease, only expensive options for symptoms, with risks. You are in way over your head; need better help.
