They performed by pass surgeries on my Dad. He had two of them and lived to be 76.
I’d say stents are more cost-effective. They could have saved money if they had kept me for just one day under observation instead of three.
Apart from the pills, I feel great. I can haul a full backpack load up the stairs without feeling winded and needing to catch my breath.
The only reason I’m alive is because it was an emergency procedure.
One of the things stints give you is less time under heavy sedation.
