There is postoperative restenosis in bypass surgery, but the interval is longer compared to after PCI, although it varies from person to person and depends on the surgical outcome. Eventually, if a second surgery is not possible, a PCI stenting will still be needed.
Xie Wanying continued what the other person left unsaid: "Even if bypass surgery is ultimately chosen, it's best to first perform an angiography, providing the thoracic surgeon with a solid reference from a good examination result to minimize the operation time as much as possible. The patient is older and has many underlying diseases, making bypass surgery a major battle with high risk. At this stage, the surgery is only an initial treatment. What he needs most is post-operative adjustment, awaiting the emergence of new antiplatelet drugs and new therapies. These are cutting-edge research developments internationally, and Doctor Seo, as an industry insider, should be somewhat informed."
