It was bad enough Vandy cardiac sent me off to a heart thing at Loyola Edward Heart Institute Napiervile .....a lovely lovely town with sweet people and pretty women
CTO PCI
it’s a super advanced multi entry point catheter procedure
Three entry points and attack LAD occlusion from the far side with tiny wires
Three inches of stents in my LAD which was 1980s era failure I’ve. Just lived with in my bridged LAD
IT WORKED
It opened up a third of my left ventricle that had been dormant with. Just enoug blood flow to not die for 25 years
And it’s comimg back to life slowly
Could take a year which is 4/18
My pumping coefficient went from 25 in 12/23/25 when I had a non ST elevated heart attack to low 50s now which is near normal
No nitro
Chasing mama around like when she was 30 and I was 39
I had surgeries in 2004 and did ok after that but the collaterals gave out
It was a miracle procedure for me
Might not last forever but it’s sure great now
Thanks for asking
It’s Gods will and I’m grateful
Especially for chasing the old lady around
So happy for you & the family. That’s some impressive medical work. Amazing what can be done these days.
Good on you & the wife too:)
