Kiwi, I did not have stents in spite of 3 blockages in the 65-70 percent range plus Type II. In 1972, Cardio said my blockages were at the borderline and he was willing for me to go with Crestor(later Pitavastatin) , diet, exercise, no blood thinner.
A month later in dicussion with my GP, I mentioned I was eating a can of sardines every day for lunch, just because I thought it would be good for my heart. He said, "let me give you something to take so that you don't have to smell those sardines every day." And he prescribed Vascepa. (I've often wondered if an Amarin Rep had just left his office before my appointment-I doubt he was prescribing from data, just "no smell")

The old bleeding canard.

My brother got 6 stents. Simultaneous catheterizations, groin and arm, two cardiologists. On Vascepa before, during, and after. Procedure included Atherectomy on some blockages plus use of impella pump.

I had double hernia surgery, the old way, not robotic. On Vascepa. And yes, I disclosed pre surgery medications. No bruising and rapid recovery.

Kiwi,
You mentioned the case where "their Cardiologists did not prescribe Vascepa because they were on blood thinners ".

So do they recognize that Vascepa has blood thinning properties? If so, now the Cardios need to learn that Vascepa is a Blood Thinner-plus-plus-plus etc. A much better choice.
