After Angiography, heart bypass is recommended by doctors need second opinion

This is a patients group we are not experts. If his doctors say ASAP I'm sure that they know what they are doing.

Good luck with his procedure.

I live in the UK and in May had an angiogram(which caused no pain or problems) and I was referred for bypass grafting.The angiogram will suggest either angioplasty (widening) or stents or bypass depending on how much of the coronary arteries are blocked. My coronary arteries were at 90% blocked on one side and 100% on the right side but luckily the left artery started to supply the right side. The body is capable of opening new arteies a bit like a stream can beome wider if the main river is blocked.

 In short I had a quadruple bypass graft in Bristol on 2nd november and I am now recovering really well.(I admit at one stage I was frightened of dying  and the research on internet etc did not always reassure me, especially american web sites, but Bristol Heart Institute di an excellent job and I was out of hospital on the 7th day.Its now 7 weeks ago and I am driving anddoing well.

Inanswer to your question, sometimes it does not always need a second opinion but if you have a good doctor have faith and trust them to make the right choices.

i am not an expert but I am a RGN. I am 65 years old and still working but I am off sick for another 5 weeks at least but feeling good to be alive!! 

If your cardiologist as said get it done ASAP and unless you have worries about how well qualified he is, I would take the drs recommendations. There is no point delaying if you end up dead leaving loved ones behind. 

I can understand you are anxious that is normal. I have had multiple open heart operations and the fear doesnt get easier but you have to trust the drs or you could be looking round for second, third and fourth opinion if you get that far.
