I had triple bypass surgery in late 2015. My blockages (80% in each) were discovered upon having a calcium scan test due to family history of CAD; I had no issues or heart muscle damage. A stent is a foreign object and I’m not sure that I would trust them long-term. Anyway, the “cabbage” worked for me.
I’ve got 3 stents, 1 for 17 years and the other 2 for 11 years. I set a personal record every day.
