These are patients whos disease effects not just 1 single artery but rather all arteries in their heart. For these patients they run into a problem.. Every stent we place into the body significantly and exponentially increases the probability of a phenomenon called in stent restenosis, a heart attack caused by stent placement. At some point it actually becomes more risky to place additional stents then to perform a surgery.

Recent role of Hassab's operation for cirrhotic patients: Combination with endoscopic procedure for varices.
Department of Gastroenterologic Surgery, Division of Cancer Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan.
Abstract
Recently, endoscopic and radiological procedures for various symptoms related to cirrhosis have improved. Thus, the role of Hassab's operation (gastroesophageal decongestion and splenectomy) has changed for cirrhotic patients.
A renown heart surgeon from Mayo Clinic (Rochester) has stated the biggist problem he sees are patients who have waited too long for MV operation. He recommends an operation with enough lead time to adequately preserve LV functionality. This a surgeon's point of view and a cardiologist may have different view?!
They were followed for a median of 4.6 years. Those who received stents did not show a reduction the risk of heart attack, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, or the composite of heart attack, stroke and death, but they did have a greater reduction in chest pain than those who received medical therapy alone".
Some also advocate doing a TEE to see if there is clot in the left atrium and if so postpone the operation until it resolves. This is something one might recommend in someone with high risk for clot such as heart failure, DM, previous embolic stroke, etc. It is generally quite safe to come off coumadin prior to these types of surgeries and this is typically what is done here at the cleveland clinic. Again, high risk patients could consider bridging with heparin.
She might have pain at the surgery site for which pain killers can be taken.Generally a semi-solid diet is presribed from the 2nd or 3rd day during the first week. If the semi-solid diet is tolerated well, then other foods can be slowly introduced. This usually takes 2-3 weeks.Complete recovery takes 2-3 weeks.
If open surgery had been performed, the recovery time is longer- 6-8 weeks.
If there are any complications, the recovery time may be prolonged than usual.
Stick to the diet - they tell you to diet for 10 weeks, I dieted for over 12 weeks and waited even longer before trying the foods not on the list. (asparagus, celery, yams and meat).
I got sick of Tilapia and fish, but it was worth it.
Do not try salad until it says you can - I waited the full 12 weeks before trying salad as it is so rough on the stomach.
One lady said she had a salad after 6 weeks and thought she was dying! Just be careful and stick to the diet.

No matter what I do I try any of the above activity I have a good chance of getting reflux at least twice per week.
Then I have read a message from a Mayo Clinic surgeon who states the biggest problem he sees is that his patients have waited too long. Waiting too long can enlarge the heart chamber and decrease the heart's pumping ability, and an operation under those circumstances may not restore the heart's ability to again pump with normal contractility.

It is not uncommon for people to have a decline in left ventricular function after operation for advanced severe mitral regurgitation. Your husband should talk with his cardiologist about his medications regimen to make certain that he is taking the right drug cocktail (ACE-inhibitor, beta blocker, etc.) and avoiding drugs that could worsen heart function (diltiazem is not recommended in patients with decreased left ventricular function).
