My mother had quadruple bypass surgery just two months ago. She has visited her heart surgeon two times since. Her sureon said she was doing fantastic. However, her cardiologist did an e.k.g. last week and said he noticed something irregular. He recommended doing another angioplasty and possibly placing stents in the artery(s). This just sounded crazy to our family, especially after just two months with the surgery going very well. The only pain mother has her surgeon said was more the result of her chest healing after surgery. Any thoughts on where to go from here?
