in my coronary arteries. Thus far, I've undergone 14 caths, 8 stents, a CABG & Brachytherapy. The scar tissue continues to grow back, and my cardiologists are at wit's end. They've mentioned performing another CABG using a vessel (used my intramammary artery for the first one). I am desperate to find out if there's anything out there being done for this chronic issue. Thanks in advance for any useful information you can provide.
