My only symptom was/is back pain and that is why I'm wondering why it's a event and not a MI

Ah, my bust...I didn't connect the dots initially. I now remember someone (Joe Bob?) posting a thread a while back about it. I think I told you to lay off the poutine or some such.
Just a guess, but maybe the "event" refers to a spasm, or temporary oxygenated-blood supply/demand issue, and not (another) acute MI via blockage/rupture?
Also, with that many stents, would in-stent thrombosis (clotting) be a concern? I know you are on meds that likely minimize that possibility, but I'd at least want to rule it out.
Not much else I can offer. Not a doctor, and no Holiday Inn for miles...
Be well!
