Angioplasty or Bypass

2015-12-16 11:14:47
I have undergone angioplasty on two occasions in 2007 and Jan 2015. I have four stents. A recent TMT test in a clinic is positive and the doctor has recommended angiogram to know the block. My dilemma is if there is a block, should I go for angioplasty or bypass ?
