Don’t Just Assume You Are Getting The Right Advice Just Because Your Cardiologist Tells You So

I’m Dr. Michael Richman, a double board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon. In today’s video we discuss who needs a coronary artery bypass(CABG) vs. angioplasty with stent placement. When does CABG beat stents? I discuss the evidence based data mixed in with my own real world experience performing CABGs. It’s often not so simple and you need to beware of the interventional cardiologist who already tells you the plan before ever doing a formal angiogram.

For further guidance, advocacy or a cardiovascular/lipid consultation, please go to PaladinMDs because “it’s like having a doctor in the family.”

Thanks for reading Doctor, Doctor tell me the TRUTH!! This post is public so feel free to share it.
