Treatment
plan for Mr. Raymond
Mr.
Raymond has a high grade stenosis in his left main stem coronary artery.
This could kill him at virtually any time.
He needs bypass surgery and
he needs it soon.
-
With a left main stem lesion
such as Mr. Raymond has, surgery should be considered instead of angioplasty.
In the long run we have to help
him reduce his risk factors for atherosclerosis and encourage a healthier
life-style.
So,
what
happened to him?
