Well if His Arteries are blocked then you need to do Angioplasty or Bypass whatever the cardiologist has suggested you there.Well if is sugar level is under control then results of surgery too shall be good. Travel depends how far and where.. Travelling a short distance for consultation is no far..However one must not forget "A stitch in time saves Nine"... As i have not seen him or his reports i can only tell u this. For futher assistance contact our Clinic

Bypass surgery is the appropriate choice for a diabetic with triple vessel disease. Angioplasty is not the correct choice.
