Can I have bypass surgery if I have a stent?

It isn't uncommon to get an artery-opening stent after undergoing bypass surgery or to have bypass surgery after getting a stent. If a person has had a stent placed in a coronary artery, it might not be possible to connect a bypass graft directly into the part of the artery where the stent lies. The graft could, though, be placed farther "downstream" from the stent, or in another part of the coronary artery tree.

Although most coronary artery bypass grafts work fine, some narrow or close up over time. Balloon angioplasty is often used to reopen the grafted artery, and a stent then placed to hold it open. Bypass surgery doesn't halt atherosclerosis, the disease process that clogs coronary arteries, and it is common for bypass recipients to develop narrowings in other arteries.

Angioplasty with stent placement can be used to open these blockages.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
