Angioplasty instead of cabg bypass
My father aged 60 has triple vessel disease with 90% 80% blockage. Doctor has suggested for cabg bt he is not ready to go for it right now. Can you suggest if we can go for angioplasty now for time being like 1-2 years and then go for bypass surgery . I have attached the angiography report

Get a robotic CABG. Connect with me. It’s the best option for him as there is no bone cutting. Small 2 inch incision. Recovery is just 3-5 days. And bypass is always superior to ANGIOPLASTY for longevity and quality of life which is proven in many studies across the world

Yes, angioplasty is feasible in such cases with good outcome but need to review angiogram CD to plan for best strategy.
