Hello. In triple vessel diseases like this CABG (bypass surgery) is better option than angioplasty. Consult a CTVS specialist.

It totally depends upon the extent and type of the lesion, your fathers angiography cd needs to be seen so I can give you a better informed opinion. He must quit smoking and chewing tobacco.
