Post-CABG and still need stents

[Guest guest]

Had a bypass (3-vessel) back in December, and I continue to have problems.

Wonder if anyone can offer some input that might help me. Initially, my

cardiothoracic surgeon said he'd be doing 4 grafts, but after surgery, I found

out he did 3. Don't know why; didn't question him at the time. Trusted him,

figured there was a good reason.

A week after my bypass, I had to have another stent. (Surprise, surprise...)

Two weeks ago, I had angina yet again: one of my grafts had occluded, and I had

yet another blockage, requiring two stents then. Now even a couple of days ago,

I had another bad episode of angina.

My cardiologist says that I just have bad arteries; today he says it's basically

just in my genes. Have an excellent rapport with him, and I trust him, but I

can't help but wonder how so much plaque can develop in such a short timespan.

Btw, I religiously take my Effient, quit smoking two years ago, and watch my

cholesterol (LDL still a little high though), so compliance isn't an issue.

Help!!
