Hello Sir,

It is my pleasure to send you this email for knowing a appropriate and right solution of a critical problem.

I am Shuvo, from Bangladesh, Dhaka-1209.

I have a major problem, haven't found the right decision from others. So, I am writing this email to you for your greatest help.

Please if you have your valuable time for helping me, I will be very great full to you.

Here is the problem details,

Last 2 weeks ago, my father was in office. Suddenly he had a pain in his chest. Then the other employ in his office took him in emergency sector in

"National Heart Foundation Hospital & Research Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh".


The doctor said, he had a simple pain. But when the pain grows up the doctor gave some medicine to stop the pain and the pain was gone after doing some heard work. The doctor gave him a lots of test and we did those test but nothing was appear in my fathers report. After 2 days doctor discharge my father from the hospital. Then, again 4 days later of discharge, he had a pain and my mother was too much afraid that time. We took him again the same hospital and they told us to admit my father in the hospital for 5-7 days for a little operation and kept him under observation.

When the test named "Angiogram" had been done, the report said that my father had 2 blocks in his right side of heart.

1st block is 100% and the 2nd block is 80%.

I forget to tell that my father is a chain smoker.

After got the reports we asked the doctor, what should we need to do for my father ? They let us know that my father need to do bypass surgery or wear ring block in his 2 blocks right side of his heart.

We asked the doctors that which one will be best and perfect for my father?

They told us, any of this can be done.

Now the main problem is,

We are very confused about the decision and don't want to take any risk with my fathers life. Hope you can understand my problem :(

I am telling you all this thing because if you can give us a little bit time from your valuable life to check my father's report, and can make a right decision for him, my father will be well again.

If you give us the permission to send you all the scan copy of original reports and the video of "Angiogram", I will send you.

We just need a appropriate decision from you for my father.

Please, if you can, let us know. We will send you all the reports to you.

Regards,
Shuvo

Please do not send us your father's personal data; we cannot diagnose here on AMHD. You will have to find an appropriate heart specialist where you, and you should not have any problem doing so. The angiogram would have diagnosed the proper procedure to follow, so why not trust the decision from the doctor you have now? He apparently needs surgery and he needs it now, not as long as it would take to send information to someone and wait for the answer from another country. This is an international site and we are unable to help you.

Sorry to say, but please reply when you read the full description. I already said that I am confused because the doctor told that we can do bypass surgery or wear block ring, but he didn't say which one is best. Although block ring has categories, like with medic and non-medic.

And if this is international site, you should know how to help others.

Thanks for the reply.

My husband had heart bypass surgery about ten years ago on three blocked arteries, and stents put in a few years ago (the arteries had become blocked again). What is a ring block? I have never heard of it.

Does your father realize that he needs to quit smoking?

[alamj]

Sorry to hear about your husband "Wondergirl".

My father is trying to give up smoking and also we all supporting him. Ring block is not kind of block, whatever I know from research, it's a name of technique which can blocking the nerves of the digits to achieve anesthesia of the fingers.

But I am afraid because my father no BP, no diabetics or any other problem. He had just 2 blocks in right side of heart and the most shocking thing is one block is 100% and the other is 80%.

So, I just need some more help from experienced people, but some people can't understand that what a father can brings to his children and his family.

Thank you for you comment about my husband. He is doing well so far.

Is there another specialist or two you could consult in your real life? No one on this site is an M.D. and it would be impossible to give you specific information or suggestions about your father.

[tickle]

I sympathize with your problem but we do not have the capacity here to deal with something as serious as a heart bypass surgery.

Nothing can be done on the internet, and if so, if some one tries to help, it is only jeopardizing your fathers problem.

You will have to seek professional help where you live and deal with it there in your own country.

Alami, we are a question and answer site. There are no doctors on this site. We cannot diagnose on this site, and frankly, choosing which operation or procedure your family should go with, would be a coin toss.

Your father has a doctor, the doctor has stated that either procedure would work. So really, you just have to pick one. I don't think anyone on this site would be comfortable making that choice for you or your family. It's up to you, your mom, and your dad.

The only real advice anyone can offer is to get a second opinion from a doctor in your area, before deciding which procedure to go with. But you won't find an answer to this on the internet. You need to talk to the doctor that is caring for your father.
