We have a problem with a family menber that went in for an angoplasty procedure. Apparently there were complcations and decided to do a by-pass. Why they didn't wait for the blood thinners to work through his system we don't know butthere were more compications and he was life flighted for where he was at to the clevelan clinic. We were told it was an acute situation that happened to him within the last 24 hours with his heart and the family is at a loss. Whay could of happened that would cause the doctors to push the surgery the way they did. He is still under and has been since Wednesday. Could we get a direction or straight answers from somebody???
