My grandmother aged around 80 years has one artery completely blocked and another one almost blocked upto 80 % & have been operated ,2 stents were installed for a major blockage on OCT 23rd 2017. After 6 months she was breathing heavy and we have bought her to USHA Mullapudi for treatment. Angiogram was done and it showed that there was an infection between the 3 side by side stents. We were suggested to put her on medication for 3 months as surgery was not a right choice because of age factor. Buy 1 Pack at 10% Discount Plus Free Shipping. Please confirm if we can use this to bring her out of the ongoing problem.

If it is stent infection then understand that stent infection donot usually resolve with oral antibiotics, they require prolong i.v antibiotics and even then in most cases require surgery, but her at her age surgery can be risky so you have been suggested medicines, if however she worsens then you should contemplate getting her re-evaluated and also surgery at an experienced cardiac surgery center
