About the only replacement parts I have are the four stents I had placed about 12 years ago. Got to the point I couldn't push the lawnmower around the yard even once without stopping to catch my breath. Went to see my doc and he sent me to a cardiologist the next day. Had the procedure a couple days after that- only because it was 4th of July weekend and nurses weren't available until Monday...
Brother had a five way bypass about the same time, but they used OEM parts - veins harvested from his legs and arms.
It's just plain amazing what surgeons can do these days with all the advancements ...
