i recently had a heart attack when they ran the test they found a blocked artery an new ones grew around the blocked one so they let it be that way

Well I don’t know anyting about this but Dr. told me that I’ve grown new artories {3} around one that two years ago they had placed a stent in. Over the last two years that stent had clogged up and completly closed off resulting in another heart attack. when givenagioplasty surgery, they found the stent completly blocked but didn’t do anything to it this time because there were three new artories that had grown around there.
Does this happen alot?

One needs to be cautious about blocking inhibitory pathways, because cancer, e.g. leukemia, is the result of runaway replication due to a lack of inhibitory function ( Malfunctioning chromosome)

This is more complicated than what is written here, i need to see this article. Blocking one pathway causes problem with other signaling events, and many of such studies were unsuccessful with human subjects (as has been with cancer).
