  Crush the Board Step 3 by Conrad Fischer said "the male can engage in sex immediately" vs.

One of the UW MCQs "the male has to wait 6 weeks" Which is correct?

Thanks.

  yes, its confusing. but ideally it should be done after risk stratification. there are 3 risk groups, low, intermediate and high risk group. depends upon in which grp the patient falls.

  should be UW. coz uptodate says the same. low risk are those who are s/s free for last 6 wks. or no CHF/UA etc. so deadline should be 6 wks. intermediate and high risks hav to wait for more.
