No stents. Bypass
Sorry, that will be a bigger deal and recovery. The good part is that those I know who have had bypasses wind up with a huge improvement in life quality. Will be praying you all the way through.

They will still go in through the groin. It depends on the type of blockage, and where it's located, that determines where they go in.

All good. Go in clogged, come out unclogged!
If you behave, will work for many years. I am looking into chelation, so I never have a return visit.

When they were prepping me I remember the staff proclaiming "his arm won't bend!" Oh boy I was about to panic. They shaved me just in case. Luckily my surgeon said he could do it even with my arm not straightening out.
They put a stent in. Amazing the difference pre stent and post stent. Hope things work out for you.

Imrik,
Generally no problems with bypass surgery. The heart surgeon is the main person for a successful bypass.
I had triple bypass surgery on 8/30/22 which went very well. The one concern that you may experience after the by pass surgery is Afib and/or arterial flutter. I have arterial flutter which does not limit me and will be addressed later this year.
Prayers for you.

Go into it as healthy as you can, as active as you can, with your lungs as healthy as you can get them. Then have a good attitude regardless.
I've found through many interactions that for whatever reason, bypass surgeries can (not always) seem to make men depressed. I suppose something along the same way that hysterectomies tend to make some (emphasis on some) women depressed. It is a visceral reaction, not necessarily one that is solely physical.
This may not apply to you but I do know several men of varying ages that it did. I do recommend that you go into it with as healthy a position as you can.

I am in the same boat. I have been struggling with getting the tests done the Dr. wants, finally (after almost 2 months) got the last test done on the 14th. Still no results on that one, I just checked. Blockage was in a challenging spot for a stint, so looking at a double bypass at some point in the future.

So much so, that I got a call from a shrink 3 days after my release asking about depression. I had her laughing right away. She said they found depression was prevalent, post surgery.
