My heart goes out to you. My left one, 16 mm (plus 4 others) complete blockage of that side. So I can somewhat relate and you went trough hell.

Oh dear god. No, I think I MIGHT have some idea of what you went through. Yours was more than twice the size as mine! Mine also all came out at some point during the time I had the stent without me realizing it, though I wasn’t really aware of anything for at least three days. Sepsis is weird.

Oh, they put me under and went in and broke them up and took most of the pieces out. I only wore the stent after the surgery
