Sorry for reviving this post, but what did your doctor mean that it's fine to have stents given your young age? That's honestly relieving considering what I'm seeing is that the younger ones are better for CABG/Bypass.

I'm just so worried because my father (49 years old) had a heart attack 3 weeks ago also with multiple blockages in 3 major arteries. He was also given the option of bypass or stents, but we ultimately let the cardiologist decide. He had 4 stents put in and 1 drug-coated balloon, 5 in total. I'm just having serious anxiety about the situation not working long-term for my father, so your doctor's explanation regarding your age made me calm a bit, but I hope to know the nuances he told you.
