Although, the disease if not extensive, can be cleared under Local anesthesia but in view of high BP and anxiety, you should opt for surgery under GA to avoid complications of high bleeding and the risk associated.
Next Steps
Can take anesthesiology opinion and subsequent cardiology opinion regarding this
