Yes another angiogram will determine whether the artery is still functioning ok .Re 2. Depends on so many factors, so quite hard to say. It can depend on your lifestyle etc.Re 3 & 4 I doubt it, and if the stent is not functioning properly you probably would get angina symptoms Re 5 in the UK stress tests are done in a mri scanner and the dye is injected into catheters in your arm, alternatively you could be asked to run on a treadmill and they then take ultrasound measurements when you have reached the peak of your physical capabilities. In my opinion the mri test whilst harder to tolerate it gives better and clearer results .Hope this helps Sorry for nicking the thread....again <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
