What Is the Solution to Vein Graft Failure? 

Mine disappeared ! For years after open heart / double bypass was begging for help ! I couldn't walk, just slowly crawling with my walker ! Short of breath, but all of them were blaming on my asthma ( I knew it wasn't. I know / feel the difference ). I was changing " doctors " more often than some changing underwear ! Weakness, fainting spells. I got the same answers : it's ONLY in my head and shoulder shrugs ( that really drove me crazy, the shoulder shrug !!! ) ! For years I live like a prisoner in my home ( thank GOD for home delivery ! ), because hardly could function. Blocked everyone are of my life, because they were tired of my problems and what I got was eye rolling. I can leave without that. Finally I drove to a different town. Thank GOD they believed me. Admitted to the hospital. Bunch of testing. Last one was the heart catheterization. I guess the previous surgeon didn't do a good job, because this cardiologist had to spend a long time to clean up what ever was done previously there. He's great ! He showed me the video, the balloons he had to use and the stent he had to place in my heart. When he told me one of my vein disappeared, my jaw fell down to the floor. Still searching to find out how is that possible. What I'm trying to say to anyone with similar symptoms, push harder !!! It's OUR body ! We are using it for many decades ! Don't allow to any licensed health care worker to destroy your life and STEAL many years from you ! Most of them under qualified and don't give a hoot about their patients ! PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, so I refuse to apologize for it ! I'm back home about a week now. I have to take lots of medication ( I hope after awhile he is going to cut back ). Slowly, but surely getting better. It's easier to talk and breathe at the same time. For me it's a big deal. TRUST to your instincts and don't give up ! 🙏
