Arterey clogged stent
Posted: 06-11-08 19:02pm

Is anyone familiar with Dr Dhillon in Fresno? He says my dad's arterey is 85% clogged and needs a stent, yet my cardiologist says the arterey is 40% clogged and at the most 60%, so he doesn't need a stent. We don't know who to believe.

Thanks!

If your father has symptoms (chest pain) that can not be treated with medicines any more you can try putting him a stent.
