As a cardiac cath tech, in 5 years, I have never seen anyone with 18 stents in their heart.

Im an ICU nurse. I have never heard of someone having 18 stents. Seems to me, that if a person has this many blockages, he or she needs bypass surgery, not more stents. I would get a second opinion if I were you.
