Hello...age is not the barrier for Bypass surgery. Main factors to decide right modality of treatment for your grandfather are- 1.Heart function/EF on 2DEcho. 2.Number of blockages in heart/CAD. 3.Co-morbid conditions like diabetes, asthama, kidney disease etc. (Overall physical fitness needed for bypass surgery & it can be done with due risk)
