Test results not good - coronary bypass surgery necessary
Dad's test is done. The cardiologist gave Mom and Carolyn the test results. Not good.
1 of his arteries is 100% blocked.
1 is 90% blocked.
2 more are 70% blocked.
They said he's lucky he didn't have a heart attack already. And they said he should not go home. He will need Coronary Artery Bypass surgery this week, open-heart surgery. The arterys are too far gone for stents to be effective.
They are going to move him to a room and he's recovering from the cath now.
The cardiac surgeons are in another surgery right now, and Mom and Carolyn are waiting for them to get a consultation.
The valve was ok, a slight murmur meaning could be a slight leak, but ok.
I'll be heading to NJ as soon as Carolyn gets more info from the cardiac surgeons.
