You write"I have heard that stents may not be healthy to have."

Having stents inserted into a coronary artery saved my life, since at the time I was suffering from myocardial infarction, that was very painful and debilitating. That was thirteen years ago and I am now 83 and fit as a fiddle. What other choice did I have ?

Open heart surgery is very painful and debilitating for at least three months afterwards with an 8.7 % chance of mortality and brain damage, The surgeon saws open your rib cage to get at the heart, cuts veins from both your legs used to by- pass blocked coronary arteries.

I am happy to read that you are doing so well. At that time you may not have had another choice.
