I also have two drug eluding stents in my RCA - and yesterday additional blockages in the same artery were discoved upon an angiogram. (whick was a surprise to me.) I am thinking of Dr. Memhet Oz or Dr. Craig Smith as possibilities of who i will use. I am also curious if there is anyone here who has had the same "combo" operation done. Any suggestions, comments, would be appreciated. I didnt think I would need to have the surgery yet, but here we are- I'm an active 53 yr old, who plays tennis and mountain bikes. any and all comments / advice will be greatly appreciated. Adam's book is a wonderful reference. I am hoping that there is someone out there who has had the experieicne I am about to face. thanks, Gary Hi everyone -
